4.5 superb

Music is evolving at a ridiculously rapid rate. If you'd have said a few years ago that just one man with a knack for sampling and a few good programs on his laptop could create not only one of the best records of the year, but one of the most critically-acclaimed live shows on the planet, then you'd probably get the shit kicked out of you. Thankfully, today's world and technology in particular allows this to happen. Greg Gillis slams together odd couples better than Gnarls Barkley AND Jack Lemmon and Walter Mattheau put together. Lil Mama, Metallica, Lil Wayne, the Chili Peppers, T.I. and Sinead O'Connor...the list only gets better from there. Hugely exciting, hugely danceable, hugely unique- this is what party albums should be. 1 Bumps | Bump

SUCH AN AWESOME RECORD. Girl Talk is a dance music machine. This album has just amazing sample combinations and it's possibly the funnest album of all time. Girl Talk was sent from the heavens to smite all intellectual property conscience people with his computer. Bump

I think I heard some Of Montreal in there? and some Lil Mama? Avril Lavigne?! I could hand this man a Michael Bolton CD, a Wiggles tape cassette, and some of those obnoxious cultural music albums from coffee shops and he could make an A+ album. Bump

3.5 great

Greg Gillis continues to evolve by using a greater number & range of samples on his 4th album. On the negative side, many tracks become a little too hectic & don't flow seamlessly. However, this is easily negated by the diversity of compositions used as Gillis digs up everything from rock/metal (Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, AC/DC & Metallica) to classic favorites (Queen, Procol Harum, Kenny Loggins & Rick Springfield). It is this which results in a familiarity that should endear 'Feed The Animals' to a wider audience. Attempting to name as many samples as possible is super fun (read: frustrating). Recommended Tracks: Still Here, What It's All About, Here's The Thing & Hands In The Air. Bump

Like a joke that's funny the first two times before everyone starts ruining it. Bump

I first encountered this last night, driving round in big80smullet's car in fact, and was impressed, confused and disorientated at the same time. I felt different segments of my brain triggering at the same time as memories cropped up and vied for space. As a self-confessed music geek it startled me. It was like listening to 3 or 4 albums playing at once, and a child was operating the skip-track button; pressing one of the 4 stereos after a few seconds. Spasmodic and hyperactive it may be at times, but brilliant it is all the time. I only shake my head when I think of how long his music takes to make though. Bump

Feed the Animals picks up where Night Ripper leaves off, but is much more than a deflated, lackluster sequel. Gillis is all over the board with his influences, dipping his quill into a wide variety of rock (Thin Lizzie, Radiohead, The Band, Nirvana), trip hop (Aphex Twin), and even slow-burning crooners (Sinead O'Connor). Despite, or maybe thanks to, all of these new opportunities for sampling, there is no loss of danceability or catchiness. Girl Talk, nothing compares 2 u. Bump
