#365 Madvillain, 'Madvillainy' (2004)

I love it when an album surprises me. This is totally not what I expected. I went in thinking this would be another hardcore hip hop record following the past few entries. This album actually knocked me off my feet. The debut record by Madvillain, a Hip Hop duo consisting of MF DOOM (the guy in the mask) and Madlib on production. Being familiar with some of Madlib’s stuff, this album makes total sense, but I went in blind, not knowing who was in the group.
