Album Rating: 4.0
My man got pb'd.
"i'm firmly in the "holy shit this is underrated" camp, probably my 3rd fav of theirs, and one of those albums I honestly can't even fathom the negative reviews for. not in a fanboy sense just a genuine "are we listening to the same album?" sense
that said, it does dip a bit toward the end and considering they were sitting on bangers like Big Kahuna & Light Up And Let Go which were simply relegated to b-sides, a little baffling they included some of the tracks they did toward the end - though Home Sick Home is the only one I'd say actually borders on being outright bad. Paths is alright, and I love Got That Feeling
No one's gonna agree with me but in an alternate universe it could have been cool to close on Billy's mix of Pristina which would have brought the Stripsearch "trip hop" vibes back one more time to close the album & give it just that slight bit more connection; I always found it very weird that was the only track like that on the album, and in retrospect that probably made it slightly more disappointing than it otherwise would have been, on first listen."
Hmm maybe it was for the best.
