1001 Albums Summary

Fine and sometimes good. Didn't ever dislike it, but overstayed its welcome--poor ideas:length ratio. Instrumentals better; spoken word stuff not so much. Other 90s groups did the trip hop thing much better; others before and after did D&B, soul sampling much better.

Solid album by a stylistic magpie. Exploration and trying-on-for-size of different influences from someone who spends all their time listening to and making music. Some catchy, often substantial, nothing groundbreaking.

Pleasant enough, but no more, with one or two exceptions

A bit unfair: this is meant for dancing, not listening. Good vibe, extraordinary levels of vamping.
