Under threat of physical injury, I have written a short review of Leviathan's Creation. Here it is.
Apartment 3 Presents - Leviathan's Creation
Review by Uncouther
ADR and Apartment 3 are Satan's gift to Bay Area rap music.
Apartment 3 is putting out the dopest shit to hit the bay in years, and in my opinion, the reason for this is that they just love the music. In a time in which damned near everyone is in the rap game for the money, there are a few people who just want to bring the Bay Area back to making good music. You won't see Apartment 3 putting out a "compilation" of songs used on other compilations and albums from 1993 that people supposedly forgot about. As Wilson himself so subtly puts it, "No recycling HO!"
One thing that can truly be said about Leviathan's Creation is that it does not sound like your average Bay Area rap album. Better yet, unlike every other album that claims to not sound like every other bay area album, this one actually lives up to this statement. There are many reasons for this... the main reason, of course, is the lyrical content. Not many bay area cats nowadays rap about satanism and cocaine. One might think about Brotha Lynch circa Season of the Siccness... but not even Lynch goes as far as ADR. This album does, of course, represent for the alcoholics, bangers, and weedheads, but unlike most Bay Area rappers, ADR does his part not to exclude the tweakers, cokeheads, and satanists. And we thank you for this. We have been overlooked for far too long. Ave satani.
The production on this album is dope. DJ Mark 7 is heated as always. Mark 7 never ceases to provide Vic'd out beats and is consistantly dope. He produced tracks 2, 3, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 16. ADR produced the rest of the album himself. I have to say I was impressed with ADR's production. The beats all really compliment the lyrics here. Most of the tracks are dark... definate evil mobb shit here... Murder music.
Guest appearances on the album are minimal... Nightbreed is present of course. T-Spoon, C-Fresh, Triple 6, Black Madness, and Tre-8 are the only guests on this album.
Tracks that stand out to me are "First Communion", "Witness Your Murder" and "Don't Slip" but I have to say my favorite is the cocaine ballad "Nasal Injection". The first thing I thought of when I heard this is that it seems like a throwback to Mac Mall's "My Opinion" which was one of my favorite tracks back in the day. I gotta say the weirdest track on this album is "Keep It Raw" which sounds like a satanic party track. Ain't no party like a satanic party....
Full of great samples from horror flicks like Hellraiser 2 and The Shining, and more... this CD plays as a soundtrack to ADR's horror movie addled mind. Definately go out and pick this one up.
What do you expect? It's Apartment 3... God hates us all.
Now where are those pills you promised me, Wilson??
