@ stratboy - 2.06.15 - 07:17pm sleaford mods are fking s**te Have to agree with you there - I didn't buy into the hype surrounding them (too old a hand for that) but from the media I'd assumed they'd be like the idiot ba stard sons of The Streets and Alexei Sayle, but the guy's just shouting random nonsense. However, perhaps because of this rather than in spite of it is surprisingly excellent. Nobody does an instant, grab you by the balls bassline like Leftfield, and the vocals in this case are just decoration - it could just as well be a football crowd bemoaning the central official's onanistic tendencies or jackdaws cawing; you give in to the riddim, and the fact that this geezer's shouting stuff is largely irrelevant. Of all the albums I've bought recently, this is getting the most airtime - every track's a real grower, and with all due respect to @penfield, despite the utter superbness of Leftism, this is the one I'd most want to listen to. |

I'll give this album another listen via YouTube and re-evaluate my opinion. I can stream it from my laptop directly to my bedroom hi-fi system via Bluetooth. As for the Head and Shoulders track, I'll probably still feel the same way about it and it's because I'm a big fan of Underworld's style of pseudo-random lyrics and what I heard previously was just a very poor imitation. We'll see about this. I hope for better results this time. |
