Negative Positive
Title: Very disappointing
Review: I bought "Cool and Steady and Easy" (BFE's previous album) and loved it; that album showed that BFE could work in lots of different genres with skill and a lot of wit. So, I was excited when this album first came out.I shouldn't have been. The collaboration with the Turks is interesting at first, but gets old very quickly. The songs all sound alike, and don't have the hooks and twists that "Cool and Steady and Easy" had. The rhythm is particularly bad--same drum segments, over and over, not even the slightest variation. I would say a definite 180 degrees from "Cool..", where jazzy horn solos were followed by a hilarious reggae exposition on a social revolution delayed by, well, just being tired.So, if you're looking for a first album to buy from BFE, pick up "Cool..."--that one's a winner. If you're a total addict, okay, you might like this release. I'm kinda picky, and deserved better from this otherwise creative band.
