I do like some of the songs from "Always out numbered, never out gunned", but it's just the overall "sound" of the album which gets on my nerves. But when comparing the new album to say "Fat of the Land" (my all time favourite album), it doesn't compare in many other ways too. Drum programming/sounds, synths and compostion were all better in the Fat of the land. Personal choice though I guess, although I'm not alone in thinking this.
The best thing about the new album is the fact he has actually brought out a new album. Just the fact he has released something is great news. Maybe with the next one he'll incorporate his new found passion with some lengthy but benificial production and compostion techniques. Fingers crossed.
