I'm pretty sure this is just the ESWAT sound track with a droning vocal on top.

I mean, this is my favorite album of all time, so...

I liked it! As long as I aggressively don't listen to the lyrics, it's quite nice! If I do listen to the lyrics, it's corny as hell. Where do the Children Play? is a stone's throw away from They Paved Paradise and Put Up A Parking Lot.

Another one of my all time favorites!

Loved this one top to bottom, completely new to me. I'm giving it a 4, but it's a stone's throw from a 5 for me, I think.

idk, it's fine, kind of a miss for me, but I don't dislike it.

This album did not make great first impression, but like the second half pretty well.

It was neat! Extremely juvenile, but in a fun way. I feel like I could have liked this a lot if it came around at the right place/time.

Man, I love Bowie in general, but this album didn't really do anything for me.

I spent at least one point in every song thinking "is this song over yet?"

they should take that organ away from that man

I enjoyed listening to it, and Sultans of Swing is a banger, a lot of the rest of the songs are pretty skippable.

Papa was a rolling stone is a banger, the rest is kind of forgettable, but it's an easy, short listen.

It's... fine?

It's a good drum and bass compilation, and I think it was probably really relevant at the time as DJ compilations were just starting to hit the world. I think I would probably have loved this if I heard it when released. But looking back on it with the perspective of how DnB has evolved since then, it feels a little weak across the board, honestly.

I listened to this album multiple times and I don't think any particular song jumped out at me on any particular listen, but, idk, it was pleasant to have on while working?

Really liked it! I like this fairly loose idea of a concept album, most of the songs were pretty good. It loses the plot a bit at the end. Will probably listen to again!

It's good, Missy has a lot of aura and it's a great Timbaland showcase, easy to listen to, but it feels... insubstantial, I guess.

Honestly, pretty fun! I'm sick as hell right now, so all the songs kind of flowed past me like water, however I had a good time with this! If it popped up on autoplay, I probably wouldn't turn it off. That said, I feel like this album was a little hurt by being a live album, with the *key exception* of the kpop-esque coordinated chanting during parts of the songs, which was *awesome*.

I really enjoyed this one! Very in line with east coast rap at the time, but with a bit of a unique perspective. I'd never heard of Jeru before. I'm looking forward to tracking down more of his stuff. Also interesting to hear early DJ Premier!
