Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Fantastic Damage' is a dense, futuristic landmark of abstract and underground hip-hop. El-P utilizes mechanical, noisy, and heavily layered production to soundtrack his anxious, rapid-fire lyrical observations on urban decay and dystopian paranoia. It solidified his reputation as a visionary producer and emcee.
