Zach de la Rocha in JU$T at the end it's fucking fire. My god.

Out of Sight is just soooo good!

Just gonna echo everyone's sentiments here, bloody brilliant. I had well earned high expectations and they might have surpassed them. Big release.

Also done us a solid easing the congestion with all the albums dropping tomorrow as well. Pity the weather couldn't hold out.

[Radiochicken]

Can’t add anything more to the comments above. What a pleasure. I think it’s their best. 

[Mouseboy11]

Album is banging.

Killer Mike can get back to telling everyone to stop protesting and go home now

[HeyPorter]

An absolute joy of an album. 

[Brownie30]

I've been having a real shit time lately and watching the world seemingly burn around us all really hasn't helped. 

This album is everything I needed right now and seems to have kicked me up by about 50%. Thank God for Killer Mike and El-P.

One of the must underrated acts out there - would love them to be back next year.

If I am not wrong they are touring with Rage and they have dates in USA during Glasto weekend

I’d take a tour, missed their Brixton shows last time out. I couldn’t see them playing anywhere bigger than that when they bring RT4 to the UK. As decent as they are I don’t think they’re likely to be picked up by radio 1, kiss, and capital to be played to the masses anytime soon.

Didn't realise they were already booked up for glasto weekend next year, bummer.  I'd been hoping they would be on the bill with Rage at Leeds this year before that all went tits up.  Hoping to see both next year come what may.  That's about the best double header you could hope for in my eyes.

Walking in the snow is literally insane.

everything crossed that when they tour the UK they don't play Manchester viccy warehouse.

Unfortunately that's exactly where I can see them playing.

Aye. They played Albert Hall a few years ago and tore it apart, be great if they went back. 

If they gotta play there hopefully they play Leeds/Liverpool as well and I'll make a night of it.

I’m just hoping they do Brixton again, and don’t play Wembley Arena. Find it so hard to gauge their size outside of this forum, they get 0 radio airtime and despite the rave reviews can’t see them breaking into the mainstream.

Maybe Ally Pally? Brixton probably the safest bet though. 
 

I saw them at The Roundhouse on the last tour which was insane.

They did two (sold out iirc) nights at Brixton so moving up to Ally Pally is a no-brainer.

Ah didn’t realise they did two nights at Brixton. 

Ally Pally it is then!

Slow off the mark listening to this after a hectic few days, but yeah - agree with everything being said. Ace stuff.

[Badlands]

It's not their best for me (that's 2 - which is up there with anything released this century for me), but it's still a very strong album. El's beats have gone up a notch.

This gave me a similar ‘fuck this is good’ feeling to 2 when I first listened to it, but I agree 2 is a tough one to beat. Incredible album.

Obviously it’s still early days with this one, but I’d rank em 2 > 4 > 1 > 3 (tried and tried with 3, and I do enjoy most of it, but I always thought it was a bit of a disappointment/overlong, especially after 2).

[Andy0808 v5]

I can get on board with Ally Pally, hit and miss venue at times when I’ve been. But I like everything about the sound of that, apart from the up hill walk beforehand

[TheBurns]

It is fantastic after lots of listens but don't see it beating 2. The opening 3 tracks of 2 is as good as any album opens for me.
