Another excellent album from M-Flo

"M-Flo's 2nd album (well, 3rd if you count the also excellent remix album "The Replacement Percussionists") is another superb piece of work from the trio. All in all, the album seems to be more balanced than their previous work, and there were only 1 or 2 songs that didn't really grab my interest. The only downsides are that the transitional pieces (which cover an international "EXPO EXPO Experience" that can be jacked into using a special visor) didn't seem as interesting as "The Replacemnt Percussionists" and that the rap-centered songs on "EXPO EXPO" (Dispatch and EXPO EXPO) did not seem as clever and infectious as the ones on their 1st album, "Planet Shining" (saywhatchagotta and Quantum Leap). More info about a few specific songs...EXPO EXPO - Includes 2 guest rappers and is completely in English except for an odd computer voice in the background. I liked it. Come Again - My personal favorite. Well done in both the rapping and non-rapping parts. A fun, lighthearted song.Dispatch - Another song with 2 guest rappers. This time singing in Japanese as well as English. Japanese with a New York accent is an odd sounding creation. Strange lyrics including seperate bits about words and ultrasonic sounds emanating from the buttocks. This one didn't really appeal to me.Orbit-3 - A song about a 3-way love triangle. Very much in sync with M-Flo's style. Excellent."
