  • Summary: The fourth album for the rapper includes Metronomy as a guest artist.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 12 out of 16
  2. Negative: 0 out of 16
  1. His clever quips, wonky wordplay, raunchy voice and oddball timing combine into something beyond reproduction by anybody, not that any other MC is daring enough to try doing this type of grimy, soulful crunk-hop
  2. The lilting gospel chorus of 'Let the Spirit' and the doomy 'It's Me Oh Lord' find Manuva stewing in a cauldron of guilt and self-recrimination, the potent authority in his voice lending them gravity and beauty in equal measure.
  3. 80
    Smith sounds urgent, fresh and revitalised. [Sep 2008, p.100]
  4. 60
    Slime & Reason practically revels in its juicy sense of freedom. [Sep 2008, p.112]
