Symptomatic of a Greater Ill is the debut studio album by American hip hop duo Darc Mind. It was released on Anticon on August 29, 2006.[1] It peaked at number 29 on the Dusted Top 40 Radio Chart.[2]
Symptomatic of a Greater Ill was recorded between 1995 and 1997 for Loud Records. However, the closing of the label shelved the album for years.[3] In 2006, it was released on Anticon.[4]
Bram Gieben of The Skinny gave the album 5 stars out of 5, calling it "[a] lost classic, resurfacing at just the right time." Marisa Brown of AllMusic said: "It's a great record, thoughtful and aware yet still laid-back and fun, and though it took a while to be released, it's better late than never to hear this, to be reminded of everything that hip-hop can be, both in the past and hopefully, continuing on into the future." Mike Schiller of PopMatters called it "one of 2006's absolutely essential hip-hop releases".
