Listen to the first minute of the first track on Scifentology II and you'll get the gist of what to expect for the rest of the tracks. The album is a conglomeration of rock-based hip hop beats, Fred Durst-reminiscent rapping, and the occasional singing. The lyrics are sometimes non-sequitur sci-fi raps reminiscent of El-P and sometimes serious criticisms of society. Scifentology isn't an awful album – it even has some real bangers – it's just largely awful for anyone who doesn't like Sage Francis, Atmosphere, or Epitaph emcees in general. This isn't a criticism, it's just that Yak is similar in sound.
