Dialogue is the third studio album by American hip hop musician Thavius Beck. It was released through Big Dada in Europe on October 12, 2009.[1] In the rest of the world, it was released through Mush Records on January 26, 2010.[1] "Go! / Away" was released as a single from the album.[2]

Critical reception

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."[5] 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."[3] Chris Ziegler of OC Weekly said: "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."[6]
