Background

All that was known about Oneirology throughout most of 2010 was the name, but details were finally announced in January 2011 by HipHopDX,[9] followed by the album cover and track listing, respectively. In the official website of QN5 Music, the production was announced, and was just by the member Kno.[10]

The album cover was designed by the Dutch artist Lois van Baarle.[11]

Critical reception

Andres Tardio of HipHopDX gave the album a 3.5 out of 5, saying, "This project combines creative sounds with inventive rhymes and stands as an example of how a great group can come together to craft a well-made album worthy of praise."[2] He added, "Using their attention to detail on this release, they've managed to build on an already impressive catalog of music and it will not disappoint too many longtime supporters of the crew."[2]
