Reviews
An all around dark album, yet accessible and danceable, the mood holds it together. Themes run the gamut, with most being political and social commentary. Spoek Mathambo's cover of "She's Lost Control" has been made into a raging dance floor number, which should be on a lot more people's radars. Some tracks take a second to pick up, but when they do they get you going. I do wish this was vinyl, maybe one day.- "Control" is an uncredited cover of Joy Division's "She's Lost Control" (damn good one, I'd say!). "Don't Mean To Be Rude" contains lyrics from "MCs Can Kiss" by Uffie, and this is not mentioned on the release as well.
