"...THE VERDICT

While this record is decidedly not another attempt at the critically panned Electric Circus, it is a more expansive take on Common than you're probably used to. Hollywood is paying Common’s bills quite nicely these days, freeing him to truly make music for the love. With his musical career experiencing a second Renaissance and Hip-Hop opening up to a more broad take on the art, it’s perfect time for him to branch out, and he takes full advantage. Don’t let Universal Mind Control slip by in the sure to be crowded December schedule..." - AllHipHop.com
