Rated 8/10

Very chill album that straddles the gap between trip hop, electronica, and lofi. I LOVED the follow up album ("Carboot Soul") but never really gave. this one a listen, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to tonight, it was a good soundtrack to my mundane tasks, enough to make me stop and bob my head now and then.

Good listening on headphones while you're laying back in the cut.

Rated 8/10

Nice fun instrumental. Very Groovy

Rated 8/10

I wouldn't say this is musical wallpaper, or even background music. Some of the samples are a bit too foregrounded for that. It definitely isn't in your face though. Fills a nice musical niche: headphone music to get lost in. Dreamy, headbobbin' stuff.

Rated 4/10

Spotify laat zien hoe vaak iets is afgespeeld. Het eerste nummer een indrukwekkende 11 miljoen keer. De nummers daarna zijn een paar miljoen keer geluisterd en de laatste nummers halen net een half miljoen keer. Kortom: mensen haken één voor één af. Het is gewoon te krachteloos om 75 minuten te luisteren. Eén nummer is voldoende.

Rated 4/10

Boos mix of styles but kinda just blends into pleasant background music

Rated 6/10

It's fine. Beats are fine. I could see a time where I would listen to this again, in the right circumstance and right frame of mind. But not going to be added to heavy rotation.

Rated 6/10

Background music, or instrumental tracks waiting for a rapper/singer/both to come along and finish them.
Sounds kind of like an audio showreel, to demonstrate a producer's work.
Not terrible, but interesting; good, just not great.

Rated 4/10

This album was a challenge to listen to. The only way I could keep somewhat focused is by putting it on in the background while I worked.

The whole album is just slow electronica/trip hop, with random sampling thrown in, and subtle hints of reggae. It wasn't bad for what it was, but it certainly isn't some revolutionary album, in my mind at least. Also, 1hr and 15 minutes of this kind of music is way too long.

One song faded into another with this album, making it hard to pick a favourite. The album, if listened to all at once, would easily lull you off to sleep. It may be enjoyable while baked, but sober, it is nothing but trance enducing elevator music.

Favourite song: if forced to pick, Dreddoverboard. Pipes Honour wasn't bad as well.

Least favourite songs: pretty much the rest of the album. There were a few good songs throughout, but everything blended so bad, I don't know which ones they were

2/5

Rated 4/10

It's nice background music for a triphop album, but really nothing more.
It didn't annoy nor excite me in any way.

Rated 8/10

This is a laid back, slow burn of an album. This is actually great for getting work done to.

Rated 6/10

Late-night chill out background music, enjoyed the grooves.
