Since the release of 2001's The Cold Vein, listeners have fiended for the return of Vast Aire and Vordul Mega, collectively known as Cannibal Ox. 2013 marks the year of the Ox as they return with their first cohesive body of work in roughly 12 years. Upon listening to the project's title track, fans  were taken aback by how the duo has not lost a step throughout the years, but that's mostly because  Cannibal Ox has always been ahead of its time. As Spin Magazine declares, while it doesn't sound  like a day has passed since Vein, Vast and Vordul were always spitting from the future. The Deluxe  LP Edition of Gotham includes the three tracks that were originally featured on the maxi-single  (never released on CD) as well as 10+ rare and unreleased tracks by the duo. This is a must-have  release for any fan of Cannibal Ox.
