I Am Not A Freemdoom is the second album by Masters of the Hemisphere, released in 2000 on Kindercore Records.[2] It is a concept album containing a comic book, for which the songs provide the soundtrack.[3]

Critical reception[edit]

Exclaim! called the album a "big bomb," writing that "the music is the lone positive point, and the Masters have a great knack for arranging sounds."[4] The Pitch called it "both an incredibly obtuse and somehow curiously listenable disc, and that’s doubly true for fans of chamber pop, an admittedly acquired taste."[5]
