MojoHe's made the album he should've made right after Maxinquaye -- i.e., a listenable one. [Jul 2001, p.112]
-
The album veers from dreamily childlike to furiously metallic, from bouncy dance-hall reggae to funked-up TV-theme fun. There's even a pop single or two.

-
Breathtaking and beautiful, as well as haunting and bleak...

When he's left to his own devices, he appears to be on firing form, creating music that sits happily between the frenzied aggro mantras of his darkest days and the beautifully evocative wonder of his debut.

Remove "Girls" and "Wonder Woman" from Blowback and you'd have a solid album.
-

Tricky's most upbeat and accessible album ever, occasionally hinting at his noirish trip hop masterpiece, Maxinquaye.
-
MixerHis most refined sound to date. [Jul 2001, p.80]
