yeah agree re. vox tbh, but first alison goldfrapp studio appearance brings it to breakeven

true, but it's a near-highlight here and having a feature here probs made it a fair bit easier to promote felt mountain idk

Ponderosa, Hell Is Around the Corner, and Aftermath are the only big standouts here lets be real

I love this album but it's a piece of shit

hmm Aftermath is so clearly the best track here that I'll raise you that as the only big standout lol. Rest of the first half other than Black Steel is a near highlight and Feed Me is a dec closer I guess

I dunno Hell Is Round the Corner is the best track for me, i actually prefer it to the Portishead version. its Tricky's sole quintessential track imo.

yeah, I think that one does a great job of furnishing a concise snapshot of everything this is about so can't fault that but idk...I get lost in Aftermath in a way that I don't with the others

honestly the best way to listen to tricky is to take the like 3 good songs from each of his earlier albums and put them in a playlist because the dude couldn't make a cohesive album to save his fucking life

My two cents here is that all the MA I've heard smokes this handily

As does Portishead and I'm not even that big a fan of theirs
