Metaform's instrumental album, "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants," released on April 15, 2008, and gained recognition by securing a spot on the College Music Journal's top 20 for the month of May.

Produced and engineered by Metaform in his various home studios over a dedicated five-year period of deep isolation, the album earned acclaim from Eddie Fleisher of Alternative Press Magazine, who listed it among the top ten records of 2008.

Alternative Press described the album as "One of the best instrumental hip-hop records in years," while JIVE Magazine commented on Metaform's unique ability to take the listener on an audible journey.

PopMatters Magazine also reviewed the album, highlighting Metaform's versatility as a multi-instrumentalist, allowing him to breathe new life into samples beyond typical means.

The album gained visibility when it was featured on the popular torrent site Demonoid, where Justice Aaron released it for free to the public.
