Yeah, it's pretty nice. I feel a little naughty for having pounced on a promo when I'm not a big We fan. :) What I can say is, judging from what people seem to rate about We, and what 'As Is' sounded like, fans shouldn't be disappointed by this. I was surprised by how straight ahead the jungle moments were - big, dark and dance floor. I really enjoyed the use of vocals throughout, all stammer and no content. When I say stammer, I mean they are samples of people stammering, cut up, so it actually gives you the impression you may hear something meaningful shortly. It's a really cool trick, cos it messes with your expectations nicely.
