Title: The Feel of the City, In Music
Review: This is my first Machine Drum CD, so I bought it taking a chance that it would either be great, mediocre, or something worse. From the beginning, this album gives the feeling of a bustling city, full of life, but also full of loneliness. This comes out in the slightly odd rhythms and melodies in many of the songs, including Floss, Kids World, and others. Many of the tracks have some element that sounds out of place, but in a good way. Some might also argue that a few of these tracks needed vocals from some guest MCs, but none were used here.On the other end of the spectrum, you have songs like Jigga Why, which is fast, energetic, and has infectious vocal editing. I felt that the album could have used a few more tracks like this one, however.Overall, Machine Drum's talent comes through in his use of samples and intricate drum rhythms. In my opinion, he earns his name on this album.
