    It's funny that a eletro-hip-hop LP can have as much soul as a Otis Redding record.

    Variegated and temperamental, this album never lets me down but doesn't fill me with a feeling of satisfaction that I really need to rate it a 10. That said, it's a damn fine 9 at least, with most of the individual tracks shining and keeping (against all odds) a coherent feel to the album. Gets better on repeated listens, and well worth $14.

    Totally solid all the way throughout. Just wish there was some guest appearances because the tracks with vocals are all good.

    Unlikely to be defined by any passing scene, Herren seems likely to go his merry way in the way production auteurs do, body-swerving ham-fisted attempts at pigeon-holing or categorisation.

    This is meticulously constructed and flawlessly engineered music.

    There's nothing Herren can't and won't do on this record.
