Reviews

Kosmonaut Jul 25, 2003
Bitching about record companies always seems to precede the death of vitality in any artist. Prince made a showing of it by tattooing "slave" to his cheek, changing his name to the image of a contorted trombone and only releasing his albums from his website, but still managed to retain some form of entertainment value. Tricky, however, failed miserably.

"Angels with dirty faces" is probably the most malignant piece of pompous shit to be released in the late 90s (only rivalled by Goldie's "Saturnz Return"). There are basically no melodies, the lyrics make you cringe, and even PJ Harvey sounds terrible in her guest appearance. Perhaps every artist needs to release something like this at some point in their career, but I'd be greatly surprised if anyone let this near their cd player more than once. Perhaps it wouldn't have sounded as bad if "Pre-millenium Tension" wasn't such a groundbreaking album, but this is just sad. It could be useful for getting rid of the last guests hanging around at your after-party, I suppose.
