    This is going to be seen as a landmark album in the future, nearly every track is a gem.

    This album is different then Cooks first three, but i think he took it in the right direction. While his other albums were a little more serious/hard feel to them, this one has a nice laid-back relax feel to it, which he does very well. Like myself, I think alot of people will enjoy this album.

    Though BLTC still is a classic, this album puts me in the right FBS-mood!

    This album is vastly underrated...ignore the negative reviews...this album is great...much more chilled out than his previous albums....you can listen to it over and over without getting tired of it...the best song IMO is the cover of Steve Miller's The Joker featuring Bootsy Collins....very catchy and funky...it's destined to be a major hit...other highlights are "Put It Back This album is vastly underrated...ignore the negative reviews...this album is great...much more chilled out than his previous albums....you can listen to it over and over without getting tired of it...the best song IMO is the cover of Steve Miller's The Joker featuring Bootsy Collins....very catchy and funky...it's destined to be a major hit...other highlights are "Put It Back Together" featuring Damon Albarn of Blur and "It's a Wonderful Night"… Expand

    Disapointing comming from just about any artist not to mention Fatboy Slim the king of Partying.

    wow, this is album is getting torn apart by the critics. It has a few brilliant songs on it and the one's that aren't great are at least enjoyable (with the exception of his remake of the Joker which sucks balls). If you're a fatboy fan I definetly encourage you to get this record

    This album is not Fatboy Slim, he should've changed his name to Careeristhiphopgarbage-Slim, he hired some untalented rapper to rap his poor lyrics, a little of it is catchy, and even less in fun.

    Succinctly, it's a crap record.

    Essentially, Fatboy Slim is doing little more than repeating his past, but the quality here doesn't suffer for that. [Nov 2004, p.120]

    That gloriously stupid clod-hopping mash-up formula remains. [Nov 2004, p.99]
