Look Mom... No Hands is the first solo album by American hip hop musician Vast Aire, one half of the duo Cannibal Ox.[5] It was released on Chocolate Industries on April 27, 2004.[6] It features contributions from MF Doom, RJD2, Madlib, Aesop Rock, and Sadat X.[6]

Critical reception

Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club gave the album a favorable review, calling it "[a] riveting combination of old school B-boy attitude and post-apocalyptic menace".[2] Christopher R. Weingarten of CMJ New Music Monthly commented that "Vast's flow, while leisurely, still utilizes the most impossibly matter-of-fact delivery in the underground, which he uses for maximum effect."[3]

Meanwhile, David Drake of Stylus Magazine felt that "this album lacks the plaintive street poetry of The Cold Vein, as well as that album's focus and consistent production aesthetic."[7] Rollie Pemberton of Pitchfork Media called it "an awkward, inconsistent amalgam of wasted talent and musical apathy."[5]
