This is Leftfields second album, and with such an amazing debut album (Leftism), they certainly had a lot to follow. Clearly the second was never going to out class the original, as it has become 'the' album to own in the 90's, and it's still the best album of that time.
This one however has a natural follow on from the original, adding more flavour to the original Big Beat styles, and dancey rhythms. From the second you start playing Dusted you know you're in for a rich treat!
Phat Planet is a great song that requires extra loud playing, Chant of a Poor Man is fantastic and is one of the best songs from Leftfield. Africa Shox is a truly excellent song also adding some cultural elements to the album as it include lyrics from Bambaataa.
Everyone should own the Leftfield albums!

Advantages: An astonishingly diverse album, expanding their genre in fascinating new ways. Disadvantages: Releasing "One More Time" as the first single has made their audience a little cynical.
