As per the last album these songs are good, but not Freestylers good. What happened!? Not enough Jay Rock, Navigator and Tenor Fly. That's what. Too many whiney plebs here. But still excellent compared to most.

Wonderful electronic soul. Worst album yet though - really misses the guests of Hinterland.

Refreshing and brilliant. Buy this album as it's for a good cause - every purchase donates money to finding a cure for Lupus. I know it sounds made up but it's very real.

Not as good as Phrenology or The Tipping Point but still very well produced and listenable hip hop.

3 good songs. The rest is shite rock music, not because it's rock, just because it's shite. This one comes with a DVD. I haven't watched it yet as I'm still too angry.

First album without Cut Chemist and Charli 2na, although he guests on one track. This is still superb multi layered music with excellent vocals. They continue to have both edge and accessibility to their sound.

To kick off another round of old ones we have the superb debut from Mr Roc. Highlights being Can You Feel with MC Det, Fallen with Gary Lightbody, Makin' It Hot with TC Islam and Post Punk Progression with Snow Patrol (who are shite usually). Let's hope his new album also has such excellent guests. I've heard a few songs on his MySpace page and it's looking good.
