Шаблон:Infobox album Fantastic Damage is the first solo studio album by American hip hop artist El-P. It was released through Definitive Jux on May 14, 2002.[1] It peaked at number 198 on the Billboard 200 chart.[2] Music videos were created for "Stepfather Factory"[3] and "Deep Space 9mm".[4]

Fandam Plus: Instrumentals, Remixes, Lyrics & Video was released through Definitive Jux on October 1, 2002.[5]

Production

The majority of Fantastic Damage was made after the breakup of El-P's previous group Company Flow.[6] El-P recorded the album in his bedroom in Brooklyn using turntables, an Ensoniq EPS-16 Plus sampler, a Kaoss Pad and an Oberheim OB12 synthesizer. According to El-P, he primarily used a DA-88 and "barely touched ProTools."[7] It took over a year and a half to record the album.[6]

Public Enemy was a big influence on El-P's production style on the album.[6] The album contains references to Philip K. Dick and George Orwell, who El-P credits as influences on his worldview and lyrics.[6]

Critical reception

Шаблон:Album ratings Steve Huey of AllMusic wrote, "Fantastic Damage constitutes some of the most challenging, lyrically dense hip-hop around, assembled by one of the genre's true independent mavericks."[8] Kathryn McGuire of Rolling Stone called it "a heavy, turbulent affair."[9]

Pitchfork placed Fantastic Damage at number 11 on its list of the top albums of 2002,[10] while Spin placed it at number 27 on its list of the year's best albums.[11] In 2015, Fact placed it at number 21 on its "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list.[12]

Although interpreted as a "post-9/11 record" which channeled the feelings of New Yorkers and Americans after the September 11 attacks, the album was written and largely recorded before September 11, 2001.[13]
