Sacrifices

"But as Sacrifices proves, returning to your glory days isn't as simple as advertised. Over 17 tracks and 56 minutes, Herren strips his melodies down, sticking to slick but skeletal beats that wash themselves under layers of vocal samples, stretched and warped synths, and tasteful effects. Although much of Sacrifices, including several of the album's under-one-minute tracks, borrow too much from Herren's early work, there simply so much to love about the simplicity of Herren's new material".

"Returning to his best-known alias, the veteran hip-hop deconstructionist scales back his approach, but Sacrifices can feel slight, with songs that too often fade into the background".
