    A quiet, easy confidence in their abilities and a collection of productions straddling just about every dance music touch-point from the past 25 years.

    In striving to prove they're the same artists they always were, Chase and Status have ended up suggesting precisely the opposite.

    Compared to Chase and Status's fizzing 2011 debut, No More Idols, this sounds creatively knackered.

    It's filled with meat-and-potatoes beats, which, despite their dangerous titles (Machine Gun, Wickedest Man) are more likely to make you check your watch than lose your head.
