Hello Cruel World is the third studio album by Sole and the Skyrider Band.[8] It was released on Fake Four Inc. in 2011.[2]

Reception

Hello Cruel World received generally favorable reviews from critics. Metacritic gave the album a score of 66/100, based on 6 reviews.[1]

David Jeffries of AllMusic said, "the album's title references Sole's desire to bring the underground angst to the masses, injecting a little ugliness and art into your everyday programming."[2] Tom Briehan of Pitchfork Media felt that "Sole has largely curbed his frantic, out-of-control, sometimes-arrhythmic rap style, going for a measured and controlled thing instead."[4] Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! called it "Sole's most accessible work so far."[3]
