I HIGHLY disagree.  Think Fever is the best thing to hit DHR in a while.
DHR became quite stale, and it is about time they put out something that
avoided the stale cliche beats that they've been releasing.  Lo-fi indeed,
but not necessarily "amateurish".  Reminds me of the latest ICE release.
Dirty production, hip hop beats, odd timed rhymes ala Sensational.
Plus samples of Muttly (I think that is the name, the dog from the old
funny cartoon racing show!).

Damn those Germans for trying to rap.  It is so American.  While we're at
it, lets condem Jupiter JAM, Roots Maneuva, Toastie Taylor, Twigy, Rhino,
and the rest of the non-US rap "artists".  And white at that.  Geez, what
were they thinking?!  Somebody better tell Company Flow and Audio Sports
members to shut up and leave the rapping to Puff Daddy.  
<Note:Sarcasm...thought the "white germans rapping..." statement was one of
the dumbest things I've read in ages.>
