Best Albums Of The Decade(2000-2009): #58-57

58.Immortal Technique-Revolutionary Vol.2(2003)


The current rap scene needs more rappers like Immortal Technique. He writes great lyrics and brings forth important polictical issues. Sure some of his views I don't agree with and they are a bit extreme, but he has the balls to present his thoughts in an intelligent manner. Revolutionary Vol.2 is graphic lyrically("The Point Of No Return" and "Obnoxious" especially) and the geniue disgust he has with the government,racisim and the drug trade is beyond authentic and extremely poignant. Immortal Technique reminds me of a modern day Public Enemy and Revolutionary Vol.2 shows how skilled as a rapper and smart as a person Immortal Technique is.


Standout Tracks 1.Crossing The Boundary 2.The Message and The Money 3.Freedom Of Speech


57.Intronaut-Prehistoricisms(2008)


Soon after I found out about Intronaut,in May of last year after I saw them live opening for Mastodon, I listened to Prehistoricisms and I was blown away. Their post metal sound with jazzy interludes is extremely unique and the intensity that it is brought at is dazziling. Intronaut's ambition, talent and unique songs make them a true force in the metal scene. I became a fan quite fast after seeing them live and hearing this fantastic record. Intronaut is one of the best kept "secrets" in all of metal and Prehistoricisims is a highly underrated record.

Standout Tracks 1.The Literal Black Cloud 2.Any Port 3.Cavernous Den Of Shame
