Dialogue is the third solo studio album by American hip hop musician Thavius Beck. It was released through Big Dada in Europe on October 12, 2009,[1] and through Mush Records in the rest of the world on January 26, 2010.[1] "Go! / Away" was released as a single from the album.
Timothy Gabriele of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10, stating that "Beck's lyrics are presented in rapid-fire succession with a fairly straightforward style and delivery, like a laser-tongued Del the Funky Homosapien." Bram Gieben of The Skinny gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "Smashing boundaries within electronic music and hip-hop simultaneously, it's hard to be anything but awed by this album, though it's likely to scare less adventurous hip-hop heads and dance music fans." Greg Cochrane of BBC described it as "[an] album packed with tightly-wound, chunky snares sounds, low chanting vocals and Beck's impressively deep flow drawn over the top like a darkening tarpaulin." Chris Ziegler of OC Weekly commented that "Beck combines the overcranked aesthetic of the Bomb Squad with the intensity of a band like Suicide, and you can hear the pixels crack and squelch between gunshots and sirens and Beck's fearless lyrics about the personal and political."[2]
