It was voted one of the top 50 albums of 1992 in Q magazine,[1] and listed as number 43 in NME{{'}}s top albums of 1992.[2] Music and lyricsThe music style of Play with Toys fuses elements of rock, blues,[4][3] funk,[4] hip hop,[5] pop,[5] psychedelic[6] and reggae,[7] and was described as an alternative hip hop "cult favorite".[5] David Jeffries described Play with Toys as "slacker rap".[8] According to Michael Ivey, "There are hip-hop elements in there, but if a hardcore hip-hop fan bought it, they might be disappointed".[7] Ivey also stated that Basehead's music "doesn't have the expected samples and sounds."[14] The lyrical themes of Play with Toys focus on diverse subjects, including alcohol and marijuana use,[3] depression,[8] philosophy,[4] politics,[4] and relationship breakups.[4] Francis Davis wrote that Ivey's lyrics "[subvert] both rock music and gangsta-rap conventions."[3] The instrumentation of Play with Toys was created largely with live instruments rather than samples, which differentiates the album's sound from that of mainstream hip hop.[9] Instruments were altered with studio techniques for effect,[9] and Ivey altered the pitch of his voice for sketches in which he voiced the friends of the album's protagonist. Ivey's vocals mix singing and rapping.[10] Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = {{Rating|4|5}}[8] | rev2 = Chicago Tribune | rev2score = {{Rating|4|4}}[11] | rev3 = Christgau's Consumer Guide | rev3Score = {{Rating-Christgau|hm3}}[12] | rev4 = Encyclopedia of Popular Music | rev4Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[13] | rev5 = Q | rev5score = {{Rating|3|5}}[14] | rev6 = Rolling Stone | rev6score = {{Rating|4|5}}[10] | rev7 = Spin Alternative Record Guide | rev7Score = 9/10[15] }}Rolling Stone reviewer Kevin Powell wrote that "Without being preachy, Basehead's unconventional style challenges listeners to get beyond their basic instincts and open their minds, search their souls."[10] Track listing{{tracklist| total_length = 40:59 | title1 = Intro | writer1 = Ivey | length1 = 1:02 | title2 = 2000 BC | writer2 = Ivey | length2 = 4:15 | title3 = Brand New Day | writer3 = Ivey | length3 = 4:52 | title4 = Not Over You | writer4 = Ivey | length4 = 4:38 | title5 = Better Days | writer5 = Ivey | length5 = 3:09 | title6 = Ode to My Favorite Beer | writer6 = Ivey | length6 = 3:42 | title7 = Hair | writer7 = Ivey | length7 = 3:48 | title8 = Evening News | writer8 = Ivey | length8 = 4:37 | title9 = I Try | writer9 = Ivey | length9 = 3:53 | title10 = Play with Toys | writer10 = Ivey | length10 = 4:03 | title11 = Outro | writer11 = Ivey | length11 = 2:56 }} Personnel
