"At this point, despite having been the most consistent Wu member in terms of his solo albums, I don't know how many would expect to reach the levels of Supreme Clientele again.

"i really dug "cee-lo green is the soul machine". It's the kind of smart, fun, playful rap i hadn't heard since p.m. dawn. Kinda reminded me of de la soul too. i also really dug what dj dangermouse did with jay-z's black album. Some moshes didn't work but when they did, like on "Helter Skelter" it..." [+] Reply

"While my tastes generally synchronize with BEA's, in some occasions I find we divulge, and this seems to be the case now.

"This is a reasonable album – but… one must get past the over-earnest singing and arrangements. A bit like latter day Elbow, everything comes off as a little forced and the record suffers because of it. Stronger at the start than the finish. Rating: Pleasing Best track: Chasing Cars" Reply

"I immediately fell in love with this record on my first listen. Even though it's just Balkan folk sounds re-imagined as indie music, there is something brilliant in its novelty (at least to someone who doesn't otherwise listen to Balkan folk)." Reply

"One of my favourite indi rock albums from the 2000s. Not a weak track and I'm surprised it's not rated much higher considering I'd expect the YYY's to hit a demographic sweet spot on this site." Reply
