UncutWhat a treat to discover another album that samples Toto's "Africa." [Feb 2003, p.75]
-
Q MagazineInitially arresting, after a while it gets claustrophobic, leaving the listener punch-drunk and weary. [Jan 2003, p.111]
-
BlenderReveals little beyond the surface, and generally rehashes past formulas. [#13, p.96]
-
At least his grimmer outlook has inspired some equally raw music.
-
A relatively brief and resolutely pop-oriented affair, with more gruff singing than rhymes and less violent, existential dilemmas.
-
