Am I the only one here who is frankly bored of Actual Sounds + Voices? It
doesn't even come close the rawness Jack concocted on 99%, or Storm the
Studio for that matter (the BOMB MBM album). Acid Again is the weakest
track on the record IMHO. For me it's clearly an attempt at reaching all
those yucks who blast Prodigy Brothers all day. I mean please I've had
enough of the 'acid' references, Thrill Kill used that exact same sample
how long ago? Jack's usually up to snuff when it comes to using more
obscure samples, I don't know I guess I'm just let down, for me it will
never compare to the older material.

On the upside, I think the last 2/3 of the record are pretty tight. Oh and
that track 'Oblivion'...
