When I first got this album I was really excited. I'd got "you've come a long way baby" when it came out and loved it. It's really cool with some great tunes. But this is different and I don't think it's that good. Some of the tracks are really boring and you REALLY want them to finish.
But the album has some really tracks but also some really terrible songs. If he spent more time on this album and took the rubbish tracks out and left the others in this would be a great album.
The tracks go like this:
1 : Talking bout my baby
This track has a good beat to it and great background sounds. When the vocals first come in they start of weird but once you listen more this is quite a good song. It does get quite boring and you'll wish you had a gun if it went on any longer.
2 : Star 69
This track is really good, I mean without all the swearing!! I don't mind a little bit of swearing but this track just gets annoying: "They know what is what but they don't know what is what they just strut, what the f**k??". Don't get me wrong the background beat is amazing and the dancy feel you get is cool but the words just annoy me!!
3 : Sunset (Bird of Prey)
This track is one that grows on you. I hated it to start off with but I like it now. The beat is cool and the background sounds are good. The vocals are ok are don't annoy!! (thank god!!)
4 : Love life
I have to say this track is AMAZING!! One of my favourites featuring Macy Gray. The whistle effect that's in the background is cool and sounds really good. Again the background sounds are cool and really make you dance!! This is defiently one that if he brings out will do well!!
5 : Ya Mama
Ya mama is another really good tracks. Like "you've come a long way baby" it's original and really dancy. This is one you HAVE to play really loud. With the vocals in the background that Fatboy Slim messes about with it sounds really good. This song is really catchy and another of my favourites!!
6 : Mad Flava
Mad Flava is another catchy cool songs. With the weird vocals and the great background this sounds will also do very well. It's very loud and is great for dancing too!!
7 : Retox
ANOTHER great track (there's none for ages then 4 come along!!). This has a great beat and sounds amazing with the vocals put with it. This is another one I really like and it's a good one to dance to!
8 : Weapon of Choice
If you haven't heard weapon of choice you've been on Mars for the last few months. This song is amazing and loved by most people. This has great vocals and beats. Another one that has been VERY popular!
9 : Drop the hate
This song is... how can I put this.... BORING. It's got a terrible beat which is VERY annoying. All it is, is Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" with a terrible beat. This song is not one of best!
10 : Demons
This song is a different style of track by fatboy slim. A very slow and piano playing all the way throught with not many other instruments. This is another one with Macy Gray and is quite good.
11 : Song for the shelter
This song is 11:26 and is VERY boring. The vocals are rubbish and the background is just the same few notes again and again and again!!! If you can be bothered to listen to this track you will hate it as much as I do.
I think this album is quite good with some of the tracks but the others are pointless. If Fatboy Slim had spend more time on this album it would be one of the best. Better luck next time!!
My advice to you is don't get this album wait till the songs are brought out in the charts and get them as singles!!
