I've been a fan of Fatboy Slim since his first album. One of the major differences between this album and the previous ones is that this one contains a number of songs with a substantial amount of lyrics.

Track 11, Song For Shelter, has lyrics that are downright vacant, and track 2, Star 69, contains probably the most annoying subset of the lyrics from Song For Shelter. The first track, Talking Bout My Baby, is mysteriously missing a beat and is pretty repetitive and monotonous.

Fatboy Slim earns his stars, though, with tracks 3 through 10. These tracks get back to what Fatboy Slim is best at: funky beats with catchy grooves and haunting overtones. Track 10, Demons (with Macy Gray), is another lyrical selection, but these lyrics are much more coherent, and more musical to boot; it's one of those tunes that gets stuck in your head.

My recommendation? As long as you've got your CD player's skip button handy, buy this CD. There's a lot of Fatboy Slim classics buried between those few annoying filler tracks.
