Using the same lo-fi, direct-from-the-VCR dubbing he used on Doomsday, MF Doom aka King Geedorah sketches out the mythos of King Geedorah over the course of Take Me to Your Leader, drafting an outline of the rubbery behemoth’s exploits (it doesn’t quite qualify as a concept album), then uses it as a guide to piece together some of the most jaw-droppingly, neck-twistingly, brain-meltingly inspired cuts this side of Q-Bert’s Wave Twisters.

“Monster Zero” is the epicenter of that approach, a cut-n-paste narration of Geedorah’s arrival on planet Earth via visitors from the future, backed by a languid soul loop and distorted, bizarrely syncopated snares; the monster in question – a mutated, irradiated, three-headed fucker who once terrorized the inhabitants of Planet X – is invoked throughout Take Me to Your Leader,
