This Gigantic Robot Kills (and sometimes just maims)Review created: 05/14/09

While he calls himself a rapper he really just speaks his rhymes or sings in rather unrhythmically styled fashion. Not to say that it's bad just maybe miscatagorized.
Without a doubt my favorite track on this disc is the decidedly un-rap title track This Gigantic Robot Kills which is a classic ska-core diddy assisted by Suburban Legends and the Aquabats about a boy obsessed with the 90's and third wave ska.
Followed closely by the rap metal-esque Hey There Ophelia which relates the tale of Hamlet in a more understandable and enjoyable manner than has ever been seen before.
Several other gems are catchy and memorable as well including the classic rock guitar driven "Guitar Hero Hero". The more traditional rap tracks No Logo and 35 Laurel Drive are decent. Overall though it seems like the less MC Lars tries to be a rapper the more I enjoy his stuff.

Thank you for voting. If your vote meets our 
2009 Even BetterI really didnt think that this album would be able to out do Lars' orther albums like the "Graduate." However, I was pleasantly surprised. This album is his best yet. The variety of song content is also impressive. Most of the songs keep the classic post-punk laptop rap style but are varied from the emotional "Twenty-Three" to the satirical "It's Not Easy (Being Green)." This is a definite buy for anyone who a Lars, MC Chris, or alternative rap/punk. Its a good release from your top 20 tracks as well. A+
