I just pulled it out to figure out exactly what I don't like about it.
It's definitely less chocolate industries and more SKAM. The pieces don't
have his traditional hip-hop flow to them, and the melodies (more just
melodic interjections) don't help the songs. The beats are fairly weak
compared to his other schematic/choc.ind. EPs. It sounds like he tried to
get out of the 4/4 hip-hop mold he built for himself by trying to make
his beats more abstract (or sumpthin'), but he changed his sound in a way
that doesn't particularly turn me on. But listen for yourself, as always
YYMV!
BTW, What's "dubby" about this album? (not to resurrect the recent "dub"
thread :)
