It's not bad at all. I Thought I'd give this album a whirl on a Tuesday morning as didn't think it was a Friday or Saturday night record. It's downbeat and perhaps a tad melancholy but that fits well with Dangerdoom (only reason I bothered with this) and his top heavy bass production. Maybe it's more for the more mature people (Damon's age) as admittedly there isn't too much excitement within this album and it does contain a cynical view (realistic?) of London life. Gone is the cartoon fun-pop of Gorillaz and way gone are the Blur days of pogo-ing and feel good London life. The songs come across with a heavy feeling or rather fat with quality. There isn't really a bad one on this album, in fact none go below "above average" and after giving it a couple of listens I can already see that this is going to get better and better. Much like Matured Beef, or Matured Cheddar or Matured Whisky.
