Not his best, but worth it

"this is a collection of "white label" style remixes by the kid. ..., but it is my gain. everyone from the buggles, missy miss demina, the bangles, d12 get the kid 606 enema/tweakfest. i can see this as a great idm club jam. very entertaining, but it is a little long and tedious at times. it feels like an "i'm going to write something to make me happy today" kind of thing. it does not display the depth of his writing on such albums as "down with the scene" nor "p.s., i love you". however, "Action Packed Mentalist ..." is a very interesting exploration that nearly caused a psychotic episode when i was searching for the Atlanta airport...it was just what i needed. trust me."

Don't listen to the nay-sayers

"Hey, I love Kid 606's crazy assed gabber as much as you do, but don't knock this album. The first 2 tracks alone and you've got you're moneys worth. As for the ignoramous that's trying to bash "The Kid", by questioning the deservedness of his notability for his live shows, go play on your mac and make some noise like my man here, then your oppinion might count. Get this album."

Play this really loud

"I think this is my favorite of 606's albums yet. I see some of the reviews differ in their opinions, but his mash-up of 80's, 90's, & this era is nothing short of remarkable. Bringing everyone from Missy Elliot to the Bangles to Radiohead really made my year's favorite club album. If you like heavy beats, or a clever mix of old & new club hits, buy this album. If you want an introspective, dramatic, thought-provoking album about how deep & special we all are, get something else."
