This is a tough album for me to review.
The reason I picked it first was it fulfilled 2 requirements.
One is simply enough, I owned the album.
The next requirement, was that it was first in alphabetical order of the albums I owned.
OK, on to why this is tough to review.
I have listened to this album off and on for almost 30 years. (Christ I am old.)
That is one of the reasons that this is harder to write. Trying to look at this album from a completely new perspective is quite tough. So many parts are memorized, that I have a serious struggle to hear new things in the songs, as I re-listen to it.
As I remember, when this album came out, the video was on a few times on MTV for ‘Shake your Rump’, and then it just disappeared. Almost never to be heard from again. The rest of the album soon followed it seemed. Who can honestly say why?
I can’t say that it did much for me personally, and still does not to this day. It is only above their very first album in order of my favorites. I know that other folks hold this album in extreme high regard. Some have sat there in earliest chat rooms of the internet, and in groups figured out the origin of all the samples on the album.
From a sampling aspect, this album was revolutionary.
From an IP perspective, and what Record Labels could control, this album was revolutionary.
This album just does not do it for me. Sorry. I am so much more biased to “Hello Nasty”, and their will be a future list and post that this album appears on. Stay Tuned for more folks…..
There are many portions of this album, that I do enjoy, and their are many moments as a musician/ producer this is a group of folks working together to make a product they think is great, and they do not care how they are doing it. This is wonderful.
