The No Music is the second studio album by American hip hop duo Themselves. It was released on Anticon in 2002.
Ed Howard of Stylus Magazine gave the album a grade of B+, saying, "It's far from perfect, and there are still moments where the experiments fall short, but overall this represents the fulfillment of the substantial promise made by Circle and cLOUDDEAD". Daniel Thomas-Glass of Dusted Magazine called it "a masterful piece of work".
Meanwhile, Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! said, "it turns out to be another Anticon disappointment, although it's still better than the last few". Sam Chennault of Pitchfork gave the album a 4.5 out of 10, saying, "It's a horribly pointless and boring album that will only satisfy those who equate progress with soulless beats and abstract mic theatrics."
It peaked at number 183 on the CMJ Radio 200 chart and at number 13 on CMJ's Hip-Hop chart.
