Take Me To Your Leader keeps up the great quality set up in Operation Doomsday and improves on it. This album is more similar to Madvillainy in that it actively explores the villainous subject a lot more, with a much greater emphasis on the story of King Geedorah invading Earth and fleshing out the persona, and in this regard I think that I may like this one of DOOM's characters the most out of what I've listened to so far. The extensive sampling from old sci-fi and kaiju films to get across Geedorah's personality and motivations make the narrative a lot more gripping and help to enhance the messaging in the songs, with this album going for a much more specific critique of humans and social injustice in specific that I think was executed very well. And, of course, DOOM's composition, sampling, and lyricism are all still top notch and a wonder to listen to. I really like the guest rappers that made appearances this time too, I think that they really fit the mood of the story and fit into the style perfectly. The whole thing is just very tightly constructed and all the individual parts come together excellently. I'm a little surprised at the outcome, but I think that it's really earned its rating.
Highlights: Fazers, Fastline, Monster Zero, Anti-Matter, Lockjaw, I Wonder, The Fine Print.
Rating: 6/6
