"Ghostface's third best album. Which still means it's better than your favourite artist's best album (OK, slight exagerration). This shit is raw, real, tight, dope, fresh, funky fly, poisonous darts, you get the picture. Buy it." Reply

"This album won the British Mercury Music Prize Album of the year, beating Radiohead's OK Computer and The Verve's Urban Hymns in the process! Definitely worth checking out if you appreciate electronic music like The Chemical Brothers or Prodigy" Reply

"I heard only recently "Casanova" in its whole, after having heard and read that the album is often considered the best from Divine Comedy.

Albums like this are not made anymore: the moment I bought "Troublegum" it grabbed me by the throat by its sheer energy and it has continued to do so since then.

"The world's first (and only?) metal band that doesn't take itself - not to mention metal music - seriously, but who put writing good songs its top priority.
