So another trip hop album, and I actually enjoyed this one quite a bit. I didn't even recognize "Black Steel" as a Public Enemy track, with its trip hop makeover.

I don't typically like trip hop albums, partly because they seem really dated now. But this one actually remained fairly timeless. I didn't love the lyrics, but overall, a more pleasant experience than I typically associate with the genre.

Worth a listen, for "Black Steel" alone.

RATING: 3/5
