    White Pony
    Maybe when they abandon their arrested development and stop convincing themselves the world is aligned specifically for their personal displeasure, they'll arrive at something listenable. [July 2000, p.112]

    Quality Control
    Quality Control' finds them treading water with a set of technically crisp but strangely uptight tracks that neither appeal nor enthrall. [July 2000, p.108]

    Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant

    The Platform
    DJ Babu's sample wizardry and scratching are impeccable, as are Rakaa and Evidence's agile rhymes, but their rigorous insistence on old-skool B-boy values leaves little room for risk-taking. [July 2000, p.106]

    Binaural
    A stinker of an album... a giant leap backwards in combining the overblown punk of 'Vs' with the grunge bluster of 'Ten', minus the tunes. [July 2000, p.107]

    nyc ghosts & flowers

    White Pepper
    They've previously assaulted all genres from country to reggae but on White Pepper return to their favourite stomping ground of '70s AOR. [July 2000, p.102]
