Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The teaming up of controversial Gray Album producer DangerMouse and rapper/producer MF Doom has been a source of excitement amongst indie hip-hop communities since the rumours started a while ago. Those who enjoyed Madvillainy (Doom’s collabo with producer/MC Madlib) might be a little disappointed at the narrower focus of this album however, which is produced in conjunction with Adult Swim, Cartoon Network’s late-night programming block and heavily weighted towards the concept of a ‘cartoon’ album. Though it’s not quite a jaw-dropping classic (the incessant comedy skits may leave some non-American listeners out in the cold) the beats are solid, the flows are sharp and there’s enough professionally delivered boom-bap and articulate innovation to satisfy most. Excellent appearances from Ghostface, Talib Kweli and Cee-Lo help make the album an overall success. --Paul Sullivan

Album Description
Two of this generation's most respected hip-hop artists, Danger Mouse and MF Doom have come together for this album, inspired by Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's popular late-night animation network. Doom, with his near obsession with masked identities and superhero personas, and Mouse, with his murky, ethereal soundscapes that cloud men's minds like Mandrake, are the perfect partners for the project, and each has inspired the other to the finest work of their careers. The Mouse & The Mask contains character voices and skits from Adult Swim's most popular original shows, including "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", "Sealab 2021", and "Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law", along with guest appearances by Cee-Lo, Talib Kweli, and Ghostface Killah.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could have been a lot better, 20 Oct 2005
By D Nicholas (London UK) - See all my reviews
There's a lot to like about this album - but a lot to forget too. If you're looking at this page, no doubt you know who the two perpetrators are... MF Doom, arguably the most original and consistently offbeat rapper of recent years, and Danger Mouse, producer responsible for the lawsuit-attracting Jay Z / Beatles mash up known as the 'Grey Album'. The third element to The Mouse And The Mask is the addition of characters from the late-night American cartoon show Adult Swim. The skits, which run throughout the album and appear on most songs in one form or another, are funny at first but quickly become grating. Maybe a listener more familiar with the Adult Swim characters would appreciate them more, but I found myself skipping them after the first hearing.

As for the music itself, Danger provides a palette of bouncy, occasionally corny samples and keyboard swirls that neatly offset Doom's regulated, deadpan rapping style. Where this works - on tracks such as 'El Chupa Nibre', ' Space Hoes', the Ghostface-guested 'The Mask' and 'Sofa King' - it comes off brilliantly. Unfortunately, some of the tracks just sound too poppy; despite a nicely crooned chorus from Cee-Lo Brown, 'Bizzie Box' is a dull and overly twee number, while a couple of other tracks are just plain boring. Dm's beats, in this project among others, tend towards the repetetive, and this happens too often on this album.

Still its a worthwhile album because, even on the less interesting songs, Doom enlivens proceedings with his ridiculous wordplay. Disses towards other MCs that are almost subliminal - "They raps ain't got no gift like a lonely Christmas"; "Digest a group and sell the poop on eBay" - bump up against references to Janeane Garofalo, "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka and "those dudes in red shirts off Star Trek". Delivered in Doom's trademark quotidian, metered sentences and with his drawling patois, the listener hangs onto ever word, wondering just how the masked supervillain can rhyme "Gats is borin'" with "vats of urine" and get away with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dangermouse and MF Doom do it!, 1 Nov 2005
This review is from: The Mouse and the Mask (Audio CD)
DJ Dangermouse, for those that don't know, is the other hottest producer in Hip Hop these days alongside Kanye West. He's created 'The Grey Album' out of Jay Z's lyrics on the Black album and The Beatles music on The White Album. Needless to say the keepers of The Beatles estate were not best pleased so you'll never find it in a regular shop. That was live though, as was his album with Jemini, so I was looking forward to this.
MF Doom has always been one of the cleverest, wierdest rappers out there- his gruff dry tones disguising the smartest use of metaphor ane a hilarious dark sense of humour. Unfortunately his producers have, more often than not, been a let down.
Not here though. Dangermouse does his thing brilliantly while Doom is crisp and cutting throughout. The humour is often puerile, but anyone with a slightly sick sense of humour (most hip hop kids) will laugh out loud.
In short, a banging album that you'll want to listen closely to- this is a big hip hop must for those of you bored with the g-Unit nonsense although if you like all that you'll still enjoy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aqua Team Hunger Force, 13 Nov 2005
This review is from: The Mouse and the Mask (Audio CD)
Well, it's been a very long time since i enjoyed a hiphop album like this, well in fact it was MF Dooms Mm...Food album. When you take MF Doom's vocals and lyrics and mix it up with Danger Mouse's beats and production, you get pure class hiphop. No BS here easy listening music that just sinks in, very rarley do you come across something like this, and when you do, pick it up. There really isn't much more i can say on this album, just buy it and you will not be dissapointed. Pure class.
