It is over.
That was a very good album, possessing an internal tension that such acts usually lacked.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

Despite it's polish and moments of lush musicality and melodiousness it was by-and-large impossible to like.
The whole thing was an arch pastiche-c*m-inadvertent parody of a sound popular roughly 5 years previously that itself borrowed more than freely on the blue-eyed soul or Boz Scaggs, D. Bovvie and wry art-school jazz stylings of Steely Dan.
Too oleaginously slick and smart-arse for its own good.
Too oleaginously slick and smart-arse for anyone to actually buy the album at the time also it seems.
Boomers had The Dan, Scaggs, Hall & Oates and Bovvie, Gen-Xers had that and loads of other crap they either loved or loathed and Millennials were too busy grooving to Vanilla Ice and, er, Zodiac Mindwarp?
Epically overproduced, epic fail.

Twice as good as EPMD's debut album obviously of course.
