    I doubt there'll be many better albums released this year. [Jun 2003, p.98]

    It's spontaneous and weird and, while its initial thumping may turn off those liking their trip-hop controlled, those who are ready to sweat a little will be rewarded by this unique duo's evolving imagination.

    A dull compromise of artistic intent and marketability.

    Really the best of all 4 of their albums released so far, touches of Felt Mountain, mixed with some great dance tracks. Its a shame this is the lowest ranked album of theirs that is recorded on metacritic because it really deserves more praise then supernature and seventh tree at the very least.… Expand

    there are some good songs - tiptoe is my favorite - but her transition to a more electo-influenced sound made her sound kinda faceless.

    Absolutely horrible. Her voice is dull and the lyrics make no sense whatsoever...they're trying too hard to be unique.
