Take Me to Your Leader is the second studio album by British-American MC/producer MF DOOM, released under the alias King Geedorah via Big Dada on June 17, 2003. Geedorah's inspirations from old comic books and giant monster / slasher movies first cropped up on Take Me To Your Leader, a tone which would be set for years to come in later Doom material. And most of the album cuts do double duty, breaking ground in the disjointed rhythm department ("No Snakes Alive"), while bridging the gap between the sci-fi themes of King Geedorah and Doom's established jazz tastes ("Fazers", "Next Level").
