This was easily King Monkey's best album before 'Solarized' arrived on the scene. The song includes Brown's best song ever wrote or done in his solo career, 'FEAR'. The album includes the well known techno voice of Brownie, the album hardly contains any proper weak tracks.
Track By Track:
1. F.E.A.R - Strongest track on the album, a clever song done by words in which all the words go in the pattern of F.E.A.R such as 'freeing excellence affects reality'. One of the most clever songs of all time. The violins in the song give it a lot of effect too. 10/10!
2. Stardust - Another 'My Star', a very rocket of a track... 9/10
3. The Gravy Train - A song about when Brown was on cocaine, another great song 10/10
4. Bubbles - Another one of the weaker tracks, listenable but nothing special. 7/10
5. Hear No See No - One of the weaker tracks, nothing special just an album filler. 7/10
6. Northern Lights - A song that Brown stretches his voice as it is like an anthem. 9/10
7. Whispers - Brownie sort of sings this in a type of whisper, a very nice melody to the song. 9/10
8. El Mundo Pequeno - Another clever song in which Brown sings the whole song in Spanish. A very handsome song, with spanish-esq guitars, a nice tune to chill to. 9/10
9. Forever And A Day - A short track, but a nice track not a very strong track but a good track to listen to. 8/10
10. Shadow Of A Saint - A great ending song for the album, Browns smooth vocals goes with this song perfectly. 10/10
Overall: 9/10
A fantastic album, doesn't get borin at all.

Advantages: return to form for Stone Roses ex-frontman; single FEAR is probably the best (released) song of the year so far; high quality throughout the whole album; new directions for Brown, as well as proof that he can still do exactly what he used to when he wants Disadvantages: Only 10 songs on the album, and a runing time of only just over 40 mins. Probably will get neither the coverage, airplay, chart position or respect it deserves. (And I wanted to give it 4.5 but there's no box for that - so you have to round up!)
