Push Button Objects, 'Ghetto Blaster': any good?

Anyone heard this album yet? A few months ago I asked about its release date on another list, and the resulting thread (a) was kinda eyebrow-raising for one who follows Chocolate Industries, Skam etc. and (b) made me wonder whether I should even care (when the artist himself recommends a boycott, you've gotta wonder):

So obviously, as a first-time poster to ILM, I expect *this* thread to be just as exciting and controversial. Hit me!

(Seriously, Edgar Farinas seems to have slipped through the cracks a little, no? A little too abstract for the Def Jukies, a little too traditional for the Prefuse/DaBrye crowd? Or am I wrong?)

I like the new PBO album. I think it has enough appeal for the Def Jux peeps, especially since Mr.Lif & Aesop Rock are featured on the album.

AND Vast Aire. BUT! They are not as sharp as the MCs on "3 Doctors" (Philco, Illustrate, and Verb according to the aforementioned link; that not-crediting-guests shit seems shady). It's one of those tracks I keep hitting <<| on just to hear that Herrmann-does-Vertigo fucked-up string atmosphere and try to decipher the whole 'medical paranoia' narrative (which is spat astonishingly by all involved).

And while I'm still sort of torn on the whole issue of Doseone as pertains to mic-wielding, I now have a general idea via listening to him what happens when you gas Cee-lo fulla nitrous.
