As most rappers give praise to the Lord above for all the gifts of money, power and respect, Tech N9ne decided to go on the path less traveled and focus on commentary on the likes of the darker side. To say the least, the Almighty is definitely not receiving any big ups or a kiss to the sky on K.O.D.

Even the artwork lacks a sense of majesty or glimmer as blackened landscapes and apocalyptic skies grace the background as Tech N9ne does his best devilish snicker to the camera.

On Show Me A God, we are given an angered explanation of why a lackluster of faith is put onto a pedestal. As Tech N9ne's mother is in declining health, reflection of church going questions God's Divine Plan with a steady percussion cadence and staccato horns underlying the fury of Tech N9ne.

Keeping with the theme, Demons, accompanied with Three 6 Mafia proves to continue to keep the energy of the album animate. Haunting piano joins the lyrics of gluttony, wrath and listening to the demon on our right shoulder. Inner demons are usually the things that we cope and deal with but contradicting with the aforementioned Tech N9ne would rather for it to fester and envelop his very well being.

Pinocchiho is far from anything resembling a wooden puppet or being swallowed by a whale. Unless you want to consider cannibalistic oral sex and craving the blood of women something Disney-esque, then you might be on the same wavelength as Tech N9ne. He spits his lyrics at rapid speed and creates a horrific story that is talented and creative enough to show his true talent.  

K.O.D. is definitely the greatest work to date of Tech N9ne. The overall topic of demonic insinuations is something of great controversy but underneath that are chaptered the subplots of grievance, dealing with fame and tackling morals. There's also some good production deep down there.
