It's certainly a different approach to previous albums and you can never blaim an artist for trying different things. But ultimately it sounds a bit like the Shadow couldn't make up his mind about where to go so he just did a bit of everything. There's a lot more vocal 'inyerface' hip-hop than previous outings, but equally there's some really lovely melodic tracks as well. All in all I'd say that it's worth a listen but it's not going to be everyones cup of cha.

I'll have to be blown away to spend me pennnies, though. Still unconvinced from what I’ve heard so far. I’ll have to be blown away to spend me pennnies, though.
