With P.T.S.D., off-kilter MC Pharoahe Monch does more than rally over a series of bizarre and dynamic beats: he posits the stock rapper as a deeply flawed, full-bodied actuality. A sufferer, more than sinner or saint. A next-level rumination on the effects of post-trauma anxiety, depression and angst, the record avoids proselytizing, instead exploring strength and weakness as responsorial, environmentally driven inevitabilities. In the process, he manages the active potency of Dead Prez, the experimentation of a def jux superstar, and the rugged accessibility of Kendrick Lamar.
