I do agree, the title track is fantastic. (On sort of a separate note, can I recommend Stardeath and the White Dwarfs? Wayne Coyne - Flaming Lips frontman - is on Revenge, which is a pretty great track. His nephew is the lead for Stardeath, and their sound is pretty mindbending. Also on collaborations, Blackroc is pretty amazing. It's Dame Dash the Black Keys with a host of vocalists including Billy Danze, Raekwon, and Pharoah Monch.) .-= birdie´s last blog ..<a href="http://bonne-vie.net/index.php/2009/the-holiday-spirit/" rel="nofollow">The Holiday Spirit</a> =-.

It's not a heartstopper by any means, but it's enjoyable. & the title track knocks me flat. Also, the photos are pretty incredible. If only the photo book wasn't sold out & super hard to get a hold of. I actually quite like the album. It’s not a heartstopper by any means, but it’s enjoyable.

The music didn't do anything for me. I usually like at least some of anything that Dangermouse has his hands in. The album was a concept of just giving backing music to all these other artists and have them put whatever they wanted on top. As a result, it seems to me that no one had any real emotional investment in it, and the album seems half-assed, discombobulated, and lackluster. Maybe the dispute with EMI more had to do with the fact that the album was dull.
