    The music is great, but it's through his lyrics that Beans really heads out into the stratosphere.

    Both totally entertaining and instantly accessible to both avant rap devotees and curious passers-by. [#246, p.66]

    Beans emerge[s] as the underground's answer to Pharrell Williams, insanely stylish and armed with beats and rhymes to spare. [Feb 2004, p.78]

    Seems like an uninspired continuation of last year’s Tomorrow Right Now.

    A solid album from beans but on his own he seems to have lost something. I couldn't help feeling a little cheated that many tracks were not new and that the amount of remixes means we do not get to hear Beans spitting fresh lyrics. The question is does the great remix of mutescreamer save it? Most definitely and yours at a bargain price or via bleep.com where you could choose which tracks you wanted! … Expand
