I just got my copy in yesterday, after a bid war
for it on Ebay. Ive had a good chance to review all
the tracks, and thought I would share my opinions :)
I thought it was generally pretty good. Some light
rythems mixed with powerful lyrics. And our new female
vocalist is very very good.
Donny X- This is a nice way to start the album. I
always like the way they find to tie the albums in
some way together. This one, carrying lyrics from
Reverence. Not as good as The Garden, but nice.
Not Enuff Love- Brilliant Brilliant. If I was the one
deciding which singles got released, this one would be
first. I love the lyrics, its catchy, and the chorus
sticks well in your head. This is my early favorite.
We Come 1- I dont know, its alright, Its pretty good
to move to, I dont think its the signature track of
this album at all, which they may try to promote it
as.
Crazy English Summer- Beautiful tune by our new female
vocalist, its very pretty. I love her voice, kind of
aristocratic. It fits in well. But, I do wish it was
just a little longer.
Muhammed Ali- Its definately a departure style, its
not like any other Faithless track. The lyrics tell a
good tale of the man. After a few more listens I
should get used to it.
Machines R Us- Alright, this blows. It is the
equivalent of a long drum solo. A 3 minute track that
plays like its 10. It repeats, but never builds into
anything. This may be the weakest track (that wasnt a
remix) that they have put out. I wonder if this might
still get cut off before the official album comes out.
One Step Too Far- Is it just me, or does Dido sing
5000 times better with Faithless, than when shes
working solo? In this tune, she really lets it go and
sings to her potential, which makes for a lovely
track.
Tarantula- I would make this the signature dance track
of this album over We Come 1, Its got a good rythem
and builds up into a good track.
Giving Myself Away- More powerful lyrics, Maxi at his
best here. Easy to relate to, and very well written.
Much like Killer's Lullaby from the album previous.
Code- A nice small filler track, ala "Sunday 8PM".
Evergreen- More beauty from our new vocalist. She
could sing a shopping list and it would sound good. I
really like her.
Liontamer- Another brilliant track, and my second
favorite so far behind "Not Enuff Love" more poetic
mastery. Very very good. Great beat.
So If I were to order them by my favorite..
1.) Not Enuff Love
2.) Liontamer
3.) Giving Myself Away
4.) Tarantula
5.) Muhammad Ali
6.) Crazy English Summer
7.) We Come 1
8.) Evergreen
9.) One Step Too Far
10.) Donny X
11.) Code
12.) Machines R Us
