Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Let it grow on you.
This is definately not a dark DnB album. Those who are fans of that kind wouldn't really like this at first. I myself like dark DnB. Listen to this cd a good 3 or 4 times and you'll see theres a lot of thought put into it. This is a CD that will strongly grow on you, it did with me.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - nothing new, but so what, roni size is awesome
I agree with the detractors who say that this album is nothing new. I appreciate size's innovation and experimentation, I consider him to be the most important producer in dnb because he doesn't seem to get tied down by the semantics and nonsense that mire most purists in homogeneity and boredom. I would've loved another strange, experimental album following In the Mode, but i like roni size's music just as much as his innovation, and a solid 70 minutes of straight up top-quality DnB is nothing to ...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Dont believe the hype
This album is nothing like Roni's last album: the beats and breaks here are completely repetitive. Listen to one song and you've basically listened to the whole album. No guest vocals either, nothing experimental or new. Just a plain album. A real let-down after his last album. The album had potential, but didn't fulfill my expectations. Get Aphrodite's last album instead. Much better.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Drum n' Bass Isn't Dead
So where has drum n' bass gone? LTJ Bukem hasn't changed a whole lot. Goldie and Grooverider are the masters but nothing really new from them. Roni Size keeps chugging along. This album is a masterpiece. Darker and heavier than New Forms. I was on a search for fresh drum n' bass and my search has ended. Get this album and lets help keep drum n' bass alive. Goldie and Grooverider, lets hear some new stuff. It's not too late for the masters to take back their throne. For now, Roni is sitting ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - absolutely avoid this album
this is one of the worst album i've ever bought it's too heavy for my tastes, i prefere something like "new forms" or even "in the mode" but surely not this one.... i think the first two where very sperimental records and (above all the first record) where good cds but this one is cheap teeny music i think it will be a 15ers choice...when the kids will grow they'll tear apart this album for something better i hope!!!! (i gave it 1 star cuz you can't give 0 stars!!!)
