Doom(formerly known as MF Doom) continues his legacy with Born Like This. Born Like This like all MF Doom shines with its intresting beats and samples and highly witty lyrics. Doom raps about gay superheroes("Batty Boyz"), bad rappers("Rap Ambush") and god knows what else on some of his other tracks. Doom's creativity shines above all and make him one of the top hip hop talents around. Born Like This is strange,smart and complex but it is also pure hip hop bliss.

Between The Buried and Me's current lineup first played together on Alaska. Guitarist Dustie Warig, bassist Dan Briggs and drummer Blake Richardson all joined Between The Buried and Me on this record. When these members joined the band, Between The Buried and Me became even better than they already where. The proggy overtones became more promient on this record with "Selkies: The Endless Obsession" and "All Bodies". Between The Buried was just getting warmed up with their new lineup on this record and they still played tight and hit a home run. Alaska blends the more agressive Silent Circus era BTBAM material with more of a prog metal influence and was only the beginning of their brilliance.
