Great album, best Atmosphere album I've heard

"This album is an exquisite example of Atmosphere's versatility, both as a writer and a rapper. Slug's lyrics are more than most of today's typical rap lyrics; he incorporates character development and imagery, building a story as well as a song. On such songs as "Aspiring Sociopath" and "Woman With the Tattooed Hands", Atmosphere shows their ability to match the mood of the lyrics with a beat. Other songs, such as "Guns and Cigarettes", show Slug's versatility, as his lyrics go from self-loathing to mockery, then to character development. Some songs on the album weren't worthwhile for me, and I found myself skipping through them. "Don't Ever F------ Question That", "Tears For The Sheep", and "If I Was Santa Claus" tarnish the otherwise impeccable album. "The Lucy Ford EPs" is a must-have album for anybody who appreciates good music."
