This is a really interesting article that touches upon the polarising reception this album has received from music critics.
I guess in this context, I can definitely be accused of being a hypocrite. Interesting...

one of the most creative producers working in electronic music.
lmfao holy fucking shit uuuuugggggggh
but all this is awesome
On Boomkat, an online record store known for honest reviews of its stock, the reviewer says the record posits Jamie “as the pre-eminent posh soul boy, lifting and massaging inspiration from the rich heritage of late 80s and early 90s London dance culture and channelling it into a pop-ready format palatable to Radio 1 daytime tastes and festival soundtracks”. On Resident Advisor, one of the biggest dance music sites on the web, Jamie takes a further drubbing: “His rave tributes are the equivalent of a Hallmark greeting card blaring out tinny versions of classic rock songs.” At the Quietus, dance music specialist Chris Eede twisted the knife, calling the record “a collection of sexless, sonically conservative tracks overwrought in bass and nostalgia, and largely void of personality – club music for the neoliberal age”.

The bass? Overwrought? Bass? Over. Wrought. In dance music? Bass overwrought...say what?
"Oh, I'm finding your bass lines far too elaborate young man - and the tone is far too fancy for my tastes. Terribly overwrought"

The 'Happy Anglers Guide' June Edition 2003 is also really steeped in 'bass and nostalgia' for me

It sounds like the point of view of someone who experienced the heady days of dance culture by necking a fishbowl in Ayia Napa circa 2007.

Hep is interesting - he's either developed a shitty 'street' persona especially for sput that he has to religiously stick to now or he actually walks round talking like he types...
Both scenarios are equally tragic
