    A modern classic that I feel has been largely ignored. It was the title track that got me into this. A rousing guitar driven electro rocker with Liam Gallagher vocals. I'm not dissing Oasis' work here but I think Liam's voice sounds better over this than just about anything in his former band's catalogue.
    The only other male vocal on this album comes from Paul Weller on So You Say You Lost    A modern classic that I feel has been largely ignored. It was the title track that got me into this.

    The only other male vocal on this album comes from Paul Weller on So You Say You Lost Your Body which is used to slightly less effect. All other tracks either use female vocal or are completely instrumental. There are many different sounds and influences. Every track conjures up a different mood yet, somehow, manages to flow beautifully from the last. The first three sound like Velvet Underground reformed in a Berlin nightclub. The hypnotic 23 Lies sounds like the engine room of this album. It whirrs away producing sparks that dance around in your brain. Help Yourself is a 10 minute long psychedelic dream that closes the album. It is the string in the tail and I wouldn't have minded another 10 minutes. Glorious.    … Expand

    Exotic, deep, unique. [Oct 2002, p.110]

    Not so much a step in the wrong direction as a step in far too many different directions at once.

    It’s not a real consistent journey, because of the eclectic styles, but the masterful sequencing makes it flow smoothly from track to track.
