It's a decent drum'n bass comp, but not without heavy flaws. Indeed
Metalheadz is definitely a time capsule for innovative jungle, and this
comp captures all the early experimentation in dense breaks. It also
demonstrates just how far musicians have taken the genre since Metalheadz
erupted many years ago. About 1/3 of the tracks are wonderful, but the
other 2/3 is tired, boring, lifeless diva wankery.
