Of all Kool Keith's bizarre career moves, teaming up with pusherman Ice-T to form the Analog Brothers has to rank up there. Along with the mysterious trio of Silver Synth, Mark Moog, and Rex Roland, Keith and the Original Gangster wage war on rap's digital principality. "Analog Brother's Intro" revisits the Ultramagnetic MCs' "We Are the Horsemen" for the year 2005 with a creepy bass growl and some of Ice-T's slickest rhymes in years. The Brothers live up to their analog moniker with amazing, otherworldly production values that are equal parts synthpop, electro bass, and vintage spaced-out Keith. Lead single "2005" boasts a moody Moog groan and synthesized strings, and check the amazing "Permsbaldheadsafrosdreads" for a scary look at tomorrow's hairstyle repression. Lyrical references are both abstract and everyday, a rewarding rhyme stew of 1980s baseball players, space-pimp boasts, and futuristic paranoia. --Hua Hsu

Another Amazing Kool Keith Side Project.......2004-08-22
A surprisingly good cd.......2004-05-06
But this CD is excellent. Not as totally wild as Dr. Dooom or Dr. Octagon, but great like Matthew.
Just buy it and don't listen to that "commercial hip-hot ship" (you know what I mean) no more. It'll rot your brain and make your breath stink like alligator doodoo.
Analog Brothers make The Jetsons look like The Flintstones........2003-06-13
If having the dangerously bizarre Kool Keith isn't enough to convince you Pimp to Eat is far off in left field, then maybe the exotic combination of both Kool Keith and the more cliched rapper Ice T will. In fact, Pimp to Eat is so far in left field, it's past the warning track.
Equipped with Keith Korg, Ice Oscillator, Silver Synth, and Rex Roland, the Analog Brothers cook up quite a recipe, and boy is the outcome yummy. Analog Intro, to Analog Outro, the album itself does not dissatisfy. Pimp to Eat, is no classic such as the flawless Dr. Octagon and Dr. Dooom projects from Kool Keith, but if you're looking for that abstract flavor of hip-hop, this may be just as good. The production isn't up to par with Keith's other releases, which is the principal flaw with the album. Lyrically, Pimp to Eat is in a category of it's own. That could be good or bad, depending who's listening. I honestly thought Ice T would devalue the album with his predictable and mediocre rap style, but my unfaithfulness in Ice Oscillator proved to be a complete bombshell, as he ripped each and every track he spit on. The others (Keith Korg, Silver Synth, & Rex Roland) were on point as well.
If you're looking for superbly produced hip-hop, then by all means turn away. If you can withstand second-rate instrumentals, laced with lyrics of that beyond your usual Kool Keith standard, look no further.
