Man, I was about to say that you're the 1st person who I've seen who doesn't like the album.

Then a week later, you like it.

Um, I said i was gonna write a review, right?
Here, track by track:
Intro- Great usage of the oboe, ya dont hear that much anymore. Creepy high pitched voice of god knows what, and then a deep voice sayin something i only actually understood once is a appropriate way to start this album.

Last Living Souls- Kinda starts out dead, then picks up like a zombie outta the ground, with that great guitar zizz zizz alternation. its got alot of the spacemonkeys feeling, and the ambient bass that leads you out.

Kids With Guns- Sounds a little too much like Last Living Souls, at least the intro. I looooove the chorus, its really great. If you didn't already know, Damon just mumbles random stuff when they record it, he doesnt write lyrics.

O Green World- I love it. I love the intro, kinda plucking around, then laces tighten and it turns into a great riff. Solid song, I can just fall into it.

Dirty Harry- The only song I don't really like, only because it came out as a white label ep and download a few months before, and I listened to it constantly. Pretty good, that guy from Pharcyde sounds natural in it, just blends in. I still miss Del as the rapper though.

Feel Good Inc- I love the megaphone verse. The desparation in 2D's voice is adorable and touching in the chorus. De La Soul's first verse fits, but the 2nd verse is too repetitive. Its got a good hypnotic type quality though.

El Manana- My favourite from the whole record. Just beautiful. Thats why its in my sig.

Every Planet We Reach Is Dead- I really like the worn out bana na na na, na na na, na na. And the claps. I cant wait to clap to it in concert.

November Has Come- Nice and mellow beginning, but MF Doom wakes you up with his verses, and again with the desparation in 2Ds voice. Inspiring.

All Alone- The chorus. Oh Man. Deep, desprate, Deep, chipmonk? I totally forget who raps on this track, but its great. The little bit with the female vocals, angelic in a mildly depressing song. Noodle?

White Light- PUNK RAWK! White light, alcohol. And scatting. Another heavenly break. Nice balance.

DARE- When i 1st heard it, I was like, HEY ITS THE ELEVATOR from the website. But nope, its dare. Shaun Ryder is excellent, although he doesnt really have a traditional singing voice, just a cockney english slur type thing. Great bassline. I love it when Shaun joins in the chorus. Very out of the open.

Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head- Great narration, good story, I can really get the social commentary. And to even it out, a few verses, again with the light desparation. Gotta love the boing, ba boing, boing ba boing going on.

Don't Get Lost In Heaven- The piano is heavenly, the lyrics are reflective of the last song, as they should be. The record was gonna be a soundtrack to the movie they were making, but the movie got cancelled. Angelic choir. This is dawn to...

Demon Days- The orchestric intro is fantastic. This track always brings me out, sitting through the whole record, it starts with an evening of partying drinking as seen in the feel good inc video, things get bleak, you've made a big mistake. But this song, it's a brand new day. It has the feel. Its a fantastic ending, but it leaves you wanting more.
