    Hampered by lazy beats and an overabundance of world-music window dressing. [25 Feb 2005, p.102]

    Builds upon the familiar grab bag with the addition of a trippier, more psychedelic vibe and high-profile, pop-minded guest vocalists. [Mar 2005, p.114]

    It's a few tracks too long, but it's easy to get lost in its smoked-out haze. [Apr 2005, p.89]

    Like much of Thievery Corporation's work, it's enveloping if not terribly galvanizing. [#16, p.138]

    I think it's ill. I feel like they turned the volume down a little and then put the speakers up against the window.
