It's a well-produced, entertaining, groovy record, but I still keep
thinking there's not much there we haven't heard from him before.
Previous records have had more surprises.  "Acid Again" does demonstrate
there is plenty more to be done with "acid" basslines -- just steer away
from the standardized 303 sound and/or junk the 4otf beat.
