Pros: Tight new band and great content. Cons: Some see Tricky's genre-breaking music as too experimental.
Tricky has defied all efforts to label his music. Every song and every album seems like a step in a different direction, and that seems to be the way Tricky likes it. Bristol-based Trip Hop pioneers Massive Attack included Tricky as a surrogate member...
Pros: Dark, dreary and semi-psychotic. Cons: He still can't rap.

Pros: Next to none. Cons: A serious disappointment, especially when compared to his other work.

I eagerly stopped into the a local record shop and gave this release a listen when it came out. I actually...
