Music reviews of Stress: Extinction Agenda
Music Review: "Crush...kill...destroy...STRESS!"
Rating: 5 Stars
With their classic 1991 self-titled debut Organized Konfusion, Prince Po and Pharaohe Monch established themselves as hip hop visionaries, but in my opinion the follow up, 1994's "Stress: The Extinction Agenda," cemented their status as geniuses. Unapolagetically experimental, the Queens duo's fusion of conceptual music and frequently abstract lyrics was fresh and artistic. Yet, for all their conceptualism, there isn't a moment of "Stress: The Extinction Agenda" that isn't completely enjoyable, and the beats, handled by Buckwild and Organized Konfusion, remain absolutely phenomenal while Monch and Po's performances are excellent. Even with their creativity, Organized Konfusion sure could feel a good groove, and this album is full of them. The first half of the album feels tense and unsettled, seeping with paranoia, while the second half contains more upbeat and catchy songs. "Stress: The Extinction Agenda" is basically flawless.
After a nice intro, the tastefully frenetic "Stress" and "The Extinction Agenda" set the scene for the LP with apocalyptic imagery and conceptually abstract lyricism. "Thirteen" is menacingly paranoid, enhanced by excellent production. "Black Sunday" is confused and hopeful, and the short "Drop Bombs" hits hard with booming bass and yells. "Bring It On" is dark and effective, giving way to the catchy yet thoughtful "Why." The most noteworthy song is "Let's Organize," a bouncy upbeat cut featuring an excited Q-Tip and O.C. "3-2-1" is just a happy, totally appealing party joint, but the lyrics remain extraordinary. "Keep It Koming" has great instrumentation, and the conceptual gem "Stray Bullet" has the MCs rapping from the perspective of a steel projectile. "Maintain" closes the album with an all-around awesome song.
1994 was arguably the best year of hip hop releases, and while it's rarely cited as such, "Stress: The Extinction Agenda" was one of the best of the year. I feel that Organized Konfusion was years ahead of their time, and that they would have fared better commercially during the alternative rap boom that came a few years after their breakup. I highly recommend all of their albums. It's got a '94 sound with Organized Konfusion's unique approach; "Stress: The Extinction Agenda" is an all-around brilliant album that should not be overlooked.
