Second only to THRAAK for be in the post-70s KC catelogue. Athough still experimental, I find it much more cohesive and less meandering that other releases.

Loud, boring, cliched. Musically ingratiated with current trends.
Yeah, getting Jay-Z to do a guest rap was real sellout move.Originally Posted by gregory

Great album, always in my ipod.
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
This is definitely one of their greatest albums--for me it shares the top spot equally with Larks', Red and Discipline. And yet I don't listen to the studio disc as much as I do with those others. When I want a Double Duo fix I almost always reach for something live from this year (most often Milan, Kingston or New Haven). I think it's partly because they'd also finally brought out the full potential of the TCoL material at the time, so those shows feel like more of a complete package.
I'm pretty sure that's only true of the soundscape in TPtB4.
Yeah, that took a little getting used to when the Happy EP came out (but it didn't take too long to start feeling normal). KC has always had a jokey side after all, and this one's really no more so than "Elephant Talk" or "The Great Deceiver" or "Cat Food."
