I think it is cruel to use a random picture of a fat guy for the cover of your album. The guy's just trying to attend the Fat People's Festival (that's really where he was, I swear) in peace. Imagine trying to get away with that in 2020.

This album contains the most popular Fatboy Slim tracks. I didn't expect to be as familiar with these songs as I was; this type of music has never really been my scene. Still, Fatboy Slim should get applause for this album. They managed to make dance music that can appeal to mass audiences outside of a club context. That's no easy feat.

It still gets wearing after awhile, but it's not nearly as repetitive as some of the other big beat albums we have had here.

RATING: 3/5
