Análisis (en inglés) - :
Containing instrumental versions of previously released vocal tracks (everything from {$MF Doom}'s {^Operation: Doomsday} to his work with {$K.M.D}. and {$Monster Island Czars} is represented here), a handful of previously vinyl-only cuts and some borrowed guest tracks from the likes of {$DJ Spinna}, {$DJ Cucumber Slice}, and {$Doom}'s long-lamented little brother {$DJ Sub-Roc}, {^Special Herbs, Vol. 1 & 2} is a mish-mash of {\prog}-inflected beats and crackpot schematics that wavers between being a little overlong and flirting with divine inspiration. Longtime fans shouldn't be fooled by the seemingly fresh track titles, though -- in keeping with the album's theme, even the most familiar beats have been renamed. In spite of {$MF Doom}'s signature production, which casts {\prog} music's liquid tones on a variety of organic instruments, a few of these recycled cuts ({&"Arrow Root,"} {&"Mullein"}) suffer from repetition when unveiled in instrumental form. Sandwiched between some of the more trying loops, however, are some dazzlingly inventive offerings, namely the '70s cop-drama squeal of {&"Coriander,"} the rolling crush of {&"Fenugreek,"} the wiffly flutes of {&"Nettle Leaves,"} and the plush, liquid soul of {&"Monosodium Glutamate."} Even the much-maligned low-budget game show cheese of {&"Zatar"} deserves a nod, if nothing else than for its sheer imagination. ~ Mark Pytlik, All Music Guide
