It's over 10 years now since I have been listening to this mans music. Living in different places in the world, having different perspectives of it, from his own area of South East London, to Toronto. This music still pulls you back to that area, like the tide he mentions so much.
Music is difficult to review more and more now. We know everything about the artist at the click of a button and we see their entire process from their bedroom or expensive studio in NYC. Taking away merit here and ... read more
Another almost perfect album produced by JPEG, this decade.
I don't have any quarms about this LP, joking aside about the mixing, I think it's exceptional. It is harder to get sound to crush and punch this hard whilst still letting the driving instrumentation leak through still.
Every track is beautiful and deep. It carries from start to finish with swinging and gauntlet jagged cuts. Great sampling and melodies littered throughout. The only thing stopping this from being a 10 is maybe a huge ... read more
Okay, when the album dropped, I, as I am sure most people did, listened to the 'Online' version first. Which I thought was a near 10, I have been blown away by the complexity and riding of each and every song on this LP.

His previous album was a huge bust personally, I thought he strayed away too far ... read more
One of the best band albums I have heard this year by far.
Solid grooves and silky melodic riffs from start to finish. A huge highlight on this project is the amount of great chorus' falling off the back of some beautifully written verses.
Not much else to say about this, maybe in a way it's more of a compliment, it's such a structurally sound LP and has an incredible amount of replay value which is what 2021 has lacked in standout projects, being flooded with art pieces. This album has left ... read more
