Negative Positive
Title: Overproduced....score another victory for the suits.
Review: Compared to all other J&MC albums, this one stands out as the most banal and 2-dimensional.This album was produced by suits. End of story.There is no question that a reasonable album was cut in the studio and a bunch of remix jockeys massaged it into something that pandered to the lowest common denominator. Psychocandy had none of that and was a large commerical success - why the label decided that could not be replicated, I could not tell you.Muscially there are some very interesting elements in this work, but they have had all the rough edges sanded down. If you are looking for J&MC albums that are creative and push the edges of music, listen to Psychocandy and Munki.While I *do* enjoy listening to this album, keep in mind it is J&MC work in an "Elevator Music" warpper.Annoying and dissappointing.
