I first heard this Essex hip-hop duo on BBC Radio One’s, Zane Lowe show, with ‘The Beat That My Heart Skipped’ and instantly liked the song and their sound.
Unfortunately this song is ruined on the album by a ‘speech’ like introduction added on to the beginning. Although once the shouting has passed, it is a very good, catchy song.
The band don’t fit into one particular genre, but all tracks contain Scroobius Pip’s spoken lyrics, which is surprisingly what I like least about them. I like the music in the majority of the album but the ‘talking’ seems the same on every song and becomes quite boring, where as on tracks such as ‘Look For The Woman’ a different voice is used which sounds better. I think the singing voice should have been used more throughout the album to break-up the spoken words.
My favourite track is ‘Letter To God From Man’, which features a sample of Radiohead’s ‘Planet Telex’.
I like this album mainly because of the Dan Le Sac side of electronic beats and mixes, and some of the tracks are overall great, but the opinionated and witty lyrics just do not work for me all of the way through.
