Just what we need, another rehash of played out hip-hop and alternative crap. Its about as decent as any wack DJ mix tape, the only difference is that this one is made with a million dollars of studio gear.
The mix is obvious. I would have hoped to hear something fresh, and original. Howlett's new work is a disappointment. In previous prodigy albums, Howlett has demonstrated a genius for the making and
mixing of technological music. From the pure techno sounds of the experience, to the bass rolling techno sounds of the fat of the land, I have always thoroughly enjoyed Howlett's works. Yet when I first pulled
dirtchamber sessions volume one out of the case and put it on the stereo, I was extremely disappointed. I always looked to Howlett to create songs that just let you shut off the outside world while you
listened to them. But when I started listening to this, I wasn't intrigued at all. Howlett, who I used to consider a prodigy in his own right when I first heard him, now seems to be slacking off. I can see my way to
cutting him a bit of slack because I know he's been touring continually with the Prodigy. But still, if Howlett knew this album wasn't as good as its predecessors, he should have postponed the release date, not pushed
out a flawed album. I wouldn't have minded waiting another year if the album had actually been worth waiting for. |
