6. "Episodes" (feat. Dice Raw)
Dice Raw collaborates with The Roots on this track, just as he did on the album which preceedde this album. I found that this track was rather uneventful, in comparison to what is usually expected of the group. On it you get them going for some darker stuff, to what you should get from them, and so I couldn't find my way into it, compared to how open they tend to be with their high-energy Hip Hop.

"Illadelph Halflife" is the third album by the Philadelphia Hip Hop band, The Roots. For this album, released in 1996, the group decided to make great changes as they strayed away from the natural feel of there music, which would sound like improvisational Jazz, jam cuts, to opt for some more structured work which possessed lots of hooks and production from third-party groups.

Amazing production, smooth raps, different to US/UK stuff 
The accents may not be for some people Everything The album is censored You might discover a gem Too many boring songs Original A couple of tracks let it down Consistent A couple of the track are average Real Gangsta Rap Very extreme. Lots of interludesThrough Chasm Caves And Titan Woods - Carpathian Forest
Great start that hints at what might have been. More traditionally-minded songs still sound weak by comparison.
The Mechanical Hand - Horse The Band
Some strong keyboard sounds at times created here, the lyrics are pretty good. The album is poorly structured, the music created here often sounds a mess.
Strange Old Brew - Carpathian Forest
Boldly and enjoyably experimental, while making plenty of time more for primal fun. Tries patience at times.
Skjend Hans Lik - Carpathian Forest
Remastered demo is a nice present to the fans. Bulked out by worthlessly inferior material.
R Borlax - Horse The Band
The music is great fun to listen to, excellent use of lyrics is made here. If you don't like hardcore shouted vocals then you won't like this.
Morbid Fascination Of Death - Carpathian Forest
Experimental touches remain, despite dwindling. Too many songs sound the same.
Dial-a-song: 20 Years Of They Might Be Giants - They Might Be Giants
Generally excellent music, lovingly packaged Some key tracks missing
Black Shining Leather - Carpathian Forest
Audible bass makes an interesting change. Confused and inconsistent on the one hand; repetitive on the other.
Defending The Throne Of Evil - Carpathian Forest
Great riffs and songs, atmospheric, tongue-in-cheek and entertaining None
