I've given this album a rating of 4/10 on the basis of the song 'Roads' alone. The rest really didn't impress me. Aside from Roads and the immutable 'Glory Box' (which saturates at least 25% of all adverts every year), there really isn't much on the album that sucks you in.

Nevertheless, this is still regarded as one of the greats. They are a poor mans Massive Attack, and I don't even like Massive Attack.

Rating : 4/10
