Great from start to finish - By: Mr. J. A. Butler, 27 Jul 2006 
this album is the best the herbaliser has offered me to date, i like every track on it, some more than others, but still it plays from start to finish quite happily , no skipping.
nailed... buy this cd or miss out on something quite brilliant
Very listenable - By: David Johnson, 04 Mar 2006 This was crazily undervalued at the time of it´s release mainly because this group sit uncomfortably between the hip-hop scene & the type of music you see on extreme sports programmes. Basicallly they don´t get much credibility from Hip-Hop fans because, "it just ain´t gangsta."
The fact is that they are brilliant. On this record several young starlets of the U.K. scene appear,"starlight," with Root´s Manuva is one of the most lyricallly inventive tracks he has recorded. This recorded ambles excellently between biting realism, check out track two & the music that you see when you see this lot live, pure pure funky rhythms.
I love tracks like,"Who´s the realest," and,"Goldrush." There are no words there but it sounds like a very British landscape of our social reality. "The missing suitcase," sounds like something you might hear in a Bond movie, yet it´s strangely infectious.
If you´ve been to university they will have undoubtedly hit your student union at some point. If you´ve never seen them make it a priorty because they´re one of the UK´s most entertaining live acts. Class.
BYE IT - By: Mr. Hjh Brighton, 13 Aug 2003 Amazing these beats funk & groove will just wonna make u boogie alll night. In particular track two is the best & thirteen has the best begining to any rap song i have ever heard Amazing.
Classy,Jazzanova beatmeisters - By: , 13 May 2002 The first time I heard The Herbaliser it happened to be in the u.k. a few years ago & they were seriously good. And when I first heard this album I was not disappointed in the slightest the beats & the rapping are well matched & the beats are chilled with sounds intermingled with Jazziness. With the new album already launched I would rank very mercenary on a par with the new one. I cant wait to see them live again.
Chilled blend of hip-hop, funk, jazz and trip-hop? - By: , 14 Feb 2001 I'd bought this after hearing "8-point agenda" expecting more of the same, but this is different. A pleasant surprise you might say! Featuring Mc's & Dj's from alll over, such as Roots Manuva in 'Starlight'. There's a useful track for alll you ladies out there ('The Sensual Woman') as well as some of the most chilled noises to come out of my stereo.
