CD Reviews

Mixed bag: some Nearly God, some just OK
Michael J. Harper | 09/17/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Many tracks are reminiscent of Nearly God, which I thought was terrific albeit not as good as Maxinquaye. Best two tracks are, by far, Veronika and Past Mistake. Those two tracks are alone worth the price. Others are as uneven as Pre-Millenium Tension. His experiments with rock guitar are where this album hits and misses: Puppy Toy is pretty great. Council Estate has very nice parts to it although it could be more coherent. Ultimately, this album would be much better reduced to eleven tracks, minus C'mon Baby and Slow."
The end of the longest drought in musical history
M. Emrich | Denver, Co. | 09/27/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Great early work with Massive Attack was followed by Maxinquaye easily one of the top ten releases of the 90's and then nothing. Oh there was a cut here and there that teased at the genius of his early work, but nothing consistent. Well folks, the drought is over. This may be even better than Maxinquaye. I won't rush to judgement on that issue until I hear this disc a few hundred more times, but I am just happy that he still has it in him. My favorite cut opens the disc, Puppy Love. I cannot get it outta my head a mix of a smoky piano lounge sound, some violin and the Tricky hip hop signature whisper. It segues into the wonderful Bacative and the disc never lets up except for one throwaway track that sounds more like some of his weaker experimental stuff, Coalition. As usual he fills the disc with lots of unknown talent and he emerges triumphant with the best trip-hop disc in over a decade."
