Immediately - Love the Southern Soul-Gospel piano to kick off the album.
Overall, this sounds like a show and collage of moods and styles. The vocal performances are pretty alright, and some tracks give me a Ben Folds vibe. Piano playing almost sounds like it could cover off of Rocking the Suburbs - even though this came out 20? years earlier.
I laughed out loud at "A Gospel". Please see the Wendy's Employee Training from the 80s. British dudes singing... rrm... writing about American politics is always weird to me.
The Wiki states that this is more of a compilation, and academically, it includes some solid music ideas and examples. The recording is simple and not overworked. "Here's one that got away" is a great example of that, but I'd almost prefer a comp of various artists who really embody these genres and styles.

And my mentality is money-orientated"
I haven’t thought about this album in forever. The structure, lyrics, flow, samples, beats, the best of the era and probably ushered in a turning point in the genre becuase - man, no going back from this one.

Real talk, I think this style of dance music is a joke. And I think I’d put this album as a prime example.

Not a huge electronic music person. I appreciate the blend of digital and analogue instruments.

Damon is boring here.
Danger Mouse is the most overrated producer.
Just not good is the only way I can really put it.

Let's see what the caterpillar has to say about this one. Caterpillar?
"Which way did the fishy fish go?"
A complete mid-range album from a time where LSD was both super cool and used by the CIA to look into other dimensions.
