Albums and movies are reviewed after I digested them thoroughly. So there might be some old stuff reviewed.
I'm not a fan of trance, dubstep or breakbeat music since it tends to be quite repetitive musically and lyrically. And repetitiveness makes me dizzy and bored. However after several listen to this album, the music is very dynamic. There would be a surprise change of pace in the songs. No More Idols is an album made of multiple genre, one that cram together a hundred genres, from trance to breakbeat, hip hop to rock, always keeping the listener on their toes.
Chase and Status are known for their attention to detail, and No More Idols is no exception. Everything on offer has been polished to pristine condition, and delicately assembled. I really appreciate how they play around the songs composition and keep them interesting. The best song to illustrate the change of pace is "Fool Yourself". The production of this album is massive, and the album is packed with memorable melodies, beats and meaningful repetitive raps.
I would call the album as a successful experiment.
Songs that manage to creep into my ipod:
No Problem
Blind Faith
Fool Yourself
Let You Go
