Advantages: Good Album! Disadvantages: Not a patch on the previous two!
Ian Browns latest outing is a good album but will leave you somewhat disappointed after listening to the previous two albums 'Solarized' and 'Music of the Spheres'. Although there are good songs on this LP, it is more disjointed than the previous two, feeling that the man has reached his peak on his previous two outings.

Ian Browns latest outing is a good album but will leave you somewhat disappointed after listening to the previous two albums 'Solarized' and 'Music of the Spheres'. Although there are good songs on this LP, it is more disjointed than the previous two, feeling that the man has reached his peak on his previous two outings. There is no real 'wow' factor about any of the songs with exception to the duet with Sinead O'Connor 'Illegal Attacks' which is more reminiscent to his earlier works. If only he could have kept this style going for the whole of the album then it would get much better praise. Ian Brown stays put with his usual delivery of lyrics and swaggering but laid-back manner using loops, string sections and good old drums and guitars for good measure. This is especially apparent on tracks like 'Sister Rose' and 'Save Us' that fuse Browns gruff lyrics, and orchestra and Indie urban beats. Brown also takes a political stance on this album, which 'Illegal Attacks' immediately points to. I would recommend this album to Ian BRown Fans, but as an introduction to his music I would definitely go for 'Music of the Spheres' or Solarized which are absolute gems.
