 Notes  
     Following a pair of self-released mixtapes, Louis Logic debuted with 2003's
     Sin-A-Matic, an underground hit that introduced the Philadelphia rapper to
     a wider audience. The follow-up, Misery Loves Comedy, gives co-credit to
     producer and DJ J.J. Brown, a wise move because Brown's inventive, varied
     settings are the album's most consistently entertaining feature. Vintage
     old-school soul samples (some given the now-standard Kanye West speed-up
     treatment) and jazzy minor-key instrumental themes are Brown's primary
     stock in trade, but the producer cleverly integrates unexpected sound
     effects in between without crossing over into show-offy gimmickry. (In
     particular, the opening of "Up to No Good," balancing Stereolab-like
     vintage synth washes with a deep soul guitar line and wordless male/female
     vocals, is simply outstanding.)
     Over all of this, Logic's raps tend to focus on his experiences with women,
     and as the title indicates, the news isn't good. However, instead of the
     usual bitches-and-hos misogyny, Logic gamely accepts his own shortcomings
     on songs like "All Girls Cheat" and "A Perfect Circle," even as other
     tracks feature more typical sly braggadocio along the lines of "Classy
     McNasty." The album's centerpiece track, "The Withdrawal Method," is the
     best of the bunch lyrically, a clear-eyed examination of a relationship's
     end that sounds like Nick Hornby could have written it. Funny, sharp, and
     surprisingly honest, Misery Loves Comedy is a big lyrical step up from
     Logic's earlier, more broadly comic records.
