Title: Pretty good, but....
Product review: ...Soul Coughing does the hip-hop/jazz/beat poetry thing better. Check out Ruby Vroom and you'll know what I mean.This album is a stylistic shift from the last album, which was a much larger stylistic shift from the album before it. In some ways this is the best of the three albums... it's certainly the most easily available. Jazzy atmosphere layered over hip-hop beats, with white boy Mark Griffin rapping (such as it were) over the top. Interesting art music, but like I said, Soul Coughing do it better. Best song on the album: "Bill's Dream." Worst song: the unnecessary (and way too faithful) cover of Curtis Mayfield's "Stare and Stare."
