The Cold Vein is like a musical negative, an inverse reflection of hip-hop history, full of everything DJ's cast aside, from Sega sound effects to electro-industrialism, gear-work grooves malfunctioning, synthesizers belching, a menagerie of digitalia.

Release[edit]

The Cold Vein was the first full-length album to be released on former Company Flow member El-P's newly founded Definitive Juxrecord label, and its release was preceded by a significant amount of hype, particularly within the hip hop community. In late 2000, a split double vinylsingle was released by Definitive Jux, containing three new songs by Company Flow and two tracks taken from The Cold Vein: 'Iron Galaxy' and 'Straight Off the D.I.C.'. These songs also appeared on the labelcompilation albumDef Jux Presents, released on March 20, 2001. The first single, 'Vein', was released in April 2001 with 'A B-Boy's Alpha' serving as its b-side. The album was eventually released on May 15, 2001.

An instrumental companion to the album entitled El-P Presents Cannibal Oxtrumentals was released on March 19, 2002 on Definitive Jux. AllMusic contributor Victor W. Valdivia wrote: 'Mainly, the album sounds as if it were the soundtrack for an unmade film, much as the work Eno made in the 1970s, since the tracks have a distinct cinematic quality that allows them to cohere and flow beautifully.'^[1]

Critical reception[edit]

Cannibal Ox The Cold Vein Zip Code

The Cold Vein was well-received by critics, drawing many favorable comparisons to the 36 Chambers-era Wu-Tang Clan. Many praised El-P's production work, with CMJ contributor Brian Coleman writing, 'Producer El-P of Company Flow gives this Harlem-bred and Brooklyn-based vocal duo of Vast Aire and Shamar what usually sounds like a full goth orchestra perched in a dank basement, with thick synth strings, simulated outer-space found-sounds and choppy, pounding drums.' AllMusic contributor Sam Samuelson wrote, 'El-P (a serious candidate for producer of the year) lays out some of the most lushly intriguing sounds and beats that feel as herky-jerky as they sound gilded with silk.'^[2]

The album was also noted for its profound lyrical content; many critics and fans felt Vast Aire's and Vordul Mega's lyrics painted a vivid picture of a poverty-stricken New York.^[12] Gavin Mueller of Stylus Magazine wrote about 'The F-Word', a song addressing unrequited love: 'Moments like these show not only the skill of Can Ox's MCs, but the potential for hip hop lyrics to work on as many levels as the finest English poetry.'^[13] Later placing the album at number 17 on its list of the top 50 albums of 2000–2005, the publication wrote:

Vast and Vordul work wonders on the mic, of course—particularly Vast, who steals most of the album's tracks with his charismatic delivery and clever wordplay. But it's the beats that give the album its unique stamp. The muted five-note motif in 'Iron Galaxy's verses; the wandering keyboard lines and muffled vocal samples in 'A B-Boy's Alpha'; the skittering percussion in 'Raspberry Fields'; it all works towards making Vast and Vordul's tales of the Big Apple feel more like they're pulled from Day After Tomorrow-era New York than the present-day version.^[14]

Accolades[edit]

The Cold Vein was included on several publications' year-end and decade-end lists of best albums.^[15]Online music magazinePitchfork placed The Cold Vein at number 152 on its list of the top 200 albums of the 2000s.^[16]Rhapsody ranked the album at number five on its list of the best hip hop albums of the 2000s.^[17]Fact named it the best indie hip-hop record of all time.^[18]HipHopDX listed it among the 30 best underground hip hop albums released since 2000.^[19]

Legacy[edit]

The Cold Vein only broke through to the mainstream on a small level. However, its legacy has grown significantly over the years and the album is today widely considered as one of the best independenthip hop albums of the 2000s as well as perhaps the best album released on Definitive Jux.

After several years of speculation,^[20] a follow-up album, Blade of the Ronin, was released on March 3, 2015.^[21]

A poster featuring the album art appeared in the 2017 American film Lady Bird.
