Title: An Overproduced Mess
Review: As a huge fan of "Movement in Still Life" I was eagerly awaiting this album. I think BT is a excellent songwriter/creator/musician.However, this album seems like a collection of overproduced outtakes. Take the second track, "Knowledge of Self" with Gang Starr's Guru. BT's layers on every electronic effect imaginable; fizzles, bubbles, cuts, etc. Instead of releying on BT sence of harmony and beat, the song throws too much at the listener; the song is a chore to listen to. By the third song I'm exhausted.Songs like Circles are downright embarrassing. It's BT's take on Power Ballads, and Alice-In Chains style rock. I lloved "Movement"s jump in genres, but please BT stay away from cheesy ones. I'm still trying to forget butt-rock.
