I grabed it and deleted it. It wasn't worth the 100 megs of hard drive space it's written on? What's with all the crap digg?

A message to all those that responded to my original comment:I owe you an apology.I must be completely amiss for expecting a quality product from those artists that I admire and full-heartedly support. How could I be so selfish? Maybe I should “DIE TODAY”, as cunninlynguist so eloquently put it. Yes, truly cunning: I admire your wit. I did not comment on the amount of money I put into my stereo systems as a measure of my over-all wealth. I expected you to see me as someone who puts a lot of time, effort, and capital into the things that I enjoy. But do not fret! I will be joining the masses soon enough. I have recently purchased a new Mac and it will be arriving later next week. I have been waiting for the Santa and OS Leopard debut. If Moore’s Law does suggest that processing power grows at an exponential rate every 18 months, than it shouldn’t be too long before I can properly format my music into a level of quality that I demand and expect; Right? Now, if I could only find a portable device that is compatible with all systems. Since Apple Lossless and FLAC don’t relay onto my car head unit or home amplifier. Db74 did suggest I get a sound system for my PC, but seriously, what kind of “f**kkin loser” has time to sit in front of their computer all day. Not me. Having to be constantly on the move requires a certain amount of mobility and there doesn’t seem to be a product available that allows me that freedom. So in closing, and in reference to my original post, I wish I could walk into the nearest Circuit City and plunk down $13 for this album. CD’s provide me the mobility I require and the sound quality is far superior to any digitally compressed, incompatible, format on the market today. This is the first posted comment I have ever made online, and while it was fun, I must leave you for now. I think I’ll walk down to the closest bar and actually interact, and socialize, with a physical human being. And no, I won’t have little white speakers in my ears along the way. “I have found, you can find, Happiness in Slavery”

saw saul williams spoken-word live, VERY intense. Check out his poetry/spoken word stuff (Said the shotgun to the head, etc.) really good stuff.

I disagree, I think this is actually a great album. I'm always fascinated by new music that is really interesting. There are a lot of songs here that instantly hooked me.

Its a good album. Trentism is evident but not overpowering and Saul, well, he's just Saul.My only criticism is that I feel the U2 cover was a mistake, but it's not all about me, is it?All you need to do now is release a sheepskin covered, white wheeled, "sheet, where my bitches" limited edition!Thanks for making my life bearable!

If you've never heard of Saul Williams and like good music (the stuff they don't play on the radio) then you're in for a treat.
