I have to concur, I've been listening to it nonstop since I picked it up
this past Tuesday. I must say Jack is the master of big bombastic beats,
and a big up to his drummer Lynn Farmer(this man is right up there with
Clyde Stubblefield). The definite standout tracks IMHO are Book of
Shadows, Prime Audio Soup, Let's Have Fun, Let's Go, Hail to the Bopp - 3
Floors Above You, and the phenomenal jazz-tinged The Thumb(an all star
line up). 

Basically the album seems to have elements of several prior albums but as
a whole is outstanding. There really isn't a stinker on there and should
make for an incredible live show during their upcomming fall tour.

The best part is that it is only $9.99(US) in most major retail
outlets(Best Buy, Tower). You can't go wrong.
