CRITIC REVIEWS

Smith has crafted an album that is deft, addictive and profoundly musical, and it feels like a fresh-minted classic.

This London MC’s third album is a thrilling mix of moody ambivalence and soulful reggae-tinged hip-hop.

This is great stuff, the music is often awesomely original.

Not a brilliant album, not his best (that remains Run Come Save Me), just a damn fine selection of mood-groove-dub-flavours by one of music’s true inimicables, back for what may be the last time.

UK hip-hop's biggest name releases his first post-grime LP, retreating from street-rap into navel-gazing experimentation.

Overall, Roots Manuva may have a lot to say during the verses, but when his choruses consist of little more than a repeated line shouted over and over, listeners won't be hanging around long enough to decipher his rhymes.

His third album mostly shelves the wit and sui generis style-clash.

It’s a lot of slickness that adds up to little, though, as a culturally myopic Roots Manuva audibly struggles to feel out the changed face of hip-hop; he sounds unsure of what tone to take and what words to say.
