You've Come a Long Way Baby
by Fatboy Slim
The hits are amazing - "Right Here, Right Now," "Rockafeller Skank," Gangster Tripping," and "Praise You" are all great. "In Heaven" is fun. Some of the tracks just feel like pure filler. "Build It Up, Tear It Down" is barely worth the 5 minutes it takes to listen to it. "Kalifornia" is better. "Soul Surfing" is also a lot more fun. "You're Not From Brighton" is a fun title since Fatboy Slim is from there, but the song itself is forgettable. "Love Island" is pretty good as the penultimate track, if a little tired, and the closer "Acid8000" is most likely the least interesting track on the whole album. Overall, a solid effort and definitely part of the zeitgeist of the late 90s club culture in Britain and elsewhere.
