 Pure poetry Jun 02, 2009
This is a superb album. If all hip hop was this good....
"Niggy Tardust" is not just hip hop but also combines elements of industrial rock and other genres in a very artistically pleasing way. Both the sound and the lyrics are inspiring. The subject matter may not be comfortable for some but we need to listen anyway. Saul Williams is political and that's the way he should be.
Sounds of the future Jan 06, 2009
This record is something new, but it is also heavily influenced by the old. Most kids today wouldnt understand that, hip hop. Great for anyone interested in something raw, determined, passionate, unforgiving, will make you dance too. Has the potential for pleasing anyone with ears, but too many haters and skeptics out there. Its funny that recording artists are called"artists" when in reality only a select handful deserve that label, and Saul Williams is one that deserves, buy now!

 Overreaching ambitions Nov 08, 2008
2 1/2
This alternative hip hop project offers little more then the indulgent, experimental vibe present throughout these rap canvases. Unfortunately, Williams seems too preoccupied with fleshing out these tracks into full-fledged songs instead of embracing the chaotic fury his best freestyling indicates. In the end, aside from a few tracks which indicate how powerful this potential coupling could have been, the album plays out as Reznor's hip hop side project.

Bloody Good Nov 07, 2008
I am bias because Saul Williams just happens to be my hero. But I love this album. Black History Month starts the album off on such a good note and it only gets better from there. You can take so much from this album. You don't like what he has to say (doubtful) you can groove to the amazing arrangements that him and Trent created. Or vice versa. Modern day dervish of words.

 Tracks to Check Out Oct 31, 2008
Album is great blend of the NIN sound/sampling (best part of NIN) with hip-hop lyrics and spin. It is easy to get thrown off by the obvious listens when sampling songs from this album (and those obvious songs are among the weakest on the album: Niggy Tardust- album title track/David Bowie reference for those old enough to have drown in David Bowie's sound and the Sunday Bloody Sunday cover).
The album is solid (at least 5-8 tracks that you'll want to listen to over and over again).
Top Tracks are (check these out to get a feel for this album!): Break, WTF, Skin of a Drum, Banged and Blown Through, Raised to be Lowered, the Ritual, TR(n)igger
