Part Donuts, part Entroducing, part Paul's Boutique

Put J-Dilla's Donuts, DJ Shadow's Entroducing, and the Beastie Boys classic Paul's Boutique in a blender; mix; then season with LSD to taste -- that's what this LP sounds like. If you live in a jurisdiction where medical marijuana is legal, and if you suffer from an ailment that qualifies you for a card, get one and then listen to this -- it will freak you the f*** out! There are thirty tracks here that flow together seamlessly. Emcees are mixed with Russian dialogue and scenes from Rocky IV, and then things get real, real trippy. I've listened to it four times now, and I'd definitely put it up there with the best producer-albums of all time. It is crazy. I've really enjoyed new music from Killer Mike, El-P, Nas, J-Dilla, and Bumpy Knuckles & Primo this year, but Alchemist takes the #1 spot... so far. And if Russian Roulette doesn't go down as the #1 LP of 2012, then that means someone came through and dropped a full-blown classic in the final five months of the year.

This album will suck you right in. This is my first experience with The Alchemist, so I can't say how it compares to his other work, but this album is so damn good.
It's so much different than anything else out right now; the tracks have energy and momentum. Listening to this album is like hearing a story - the best albums are the ones that have a definite theme and demand that they be heard from start to finish.
Also, Danny Brown is on this album! (Really obsessed with him right now.)

I've followed Alchemist ever since I heard "The Realest" with Mobb Deep and Kool G-rap. It had been a few years since i bought his albums and I came upon Russian Roulette and copped it. This album is for the listener who is not afraid to venture into different musical dimensions.. I can best describe it as when a person has read religious scriptures, but seeks more than religion, he or she seeks a moving spirituality that feeds their soul, something that connects them to the Universe and all things within it that are within US, making us one with the earth skies and stars, going beyond what WE KNOW.
Russian Roulette is Hip-Hop reaching beyond it's culture and foundation and traveling to unexplored regions. NO, this isn't some disconnected cornball cat who's just experimenting with sounds and loops, and making a new commercial sound with some clown-ass, non-lyrical rappers that don't have an idea about the culture which gave birth to KRS-1, Public Enemy, Rakim, Kool G-Rap..which in turn empowered US within Hip-Hop. THIS .. is talented MC's (with the exception of the unoriginal, Ghostface Killah copycat/clone.. "Action Bronson") rhyming off of Orchestral/Soulful/Musical-medelys, with beats and percussions low in the foggy distance.
Definitely not your regular Alchemist beats and samples, but something new and uncharted.. STILL filled with musical soul and spirit.
Russian Roulette will need repeated listenings for you to grasp it, and upon listening to it over and over and over and over again, you will NOT be bored, but drawn in and mesmerized, like when you climb up a mountain and look out upon the miles and miles of valleys, fields and forests before you, and understand what a spiritual connection is all about.
Cop this. This is a Natural High.
Peace
