Crookers ft Fabri Fibra & Dargen D'Amico - Festa

(It doesn't seem to be on the album reading the tracklist, but someone says yes. I think it will probably released apart.)

Sometimes it is really interesting to know how a track was born and how it has evolved, don't you think?

I've listened to it. Absolutely awful. only 3 tracks got my attention. Hold up your Hand, We love Animals (but let's face it, it'a 90% Soulwax) and the feat with Tim Burgess (I don't remember the name). The rest is garbage.

The featuring with Will I am is a poor Boom Boom Pow (and Boom Boom Pow was lame anyway)

The featuring with Miike Snow sounds exactly like David Guetta - Memories.

Sounding like David Guetta and Black Eyed Peas is really not a good thing.

Sorry pnx. Too bad they ended up doing lame productions for (sometimes) great vocalists. I was really disapointed by Spank Rock's track. He deserves much better. Knobbers, Big Money Comin, Day n nite or their remix of Salmon Dance sounded much much better than this wanabe-cool-hip-hopish-full-of-featurings album...

Well I wasn't going to go into it expecting anything good. I'm probably never actually going to listen to it unless there is anything that sounds like Knobbers on it. It is so simple but fantastic. It is like a guilty pleasure.

God, I hope the Noisia album will not be like that, because Machine Gun (and remixes) have been amazing, and I'm quite excited about Sunhammer and all the other tracks. *crosses fingers*

I don't think there's anything to worry about for Noisia. They're confirmed excellent producers. Whereas Crookers have not been very regular.

Ben, I can agree with you, I expected something better. But anyway, I would save the following tracks:

1. Crookers ft. Soulwax & Mixhell - 'We Love Animals'

2. Crookers ft. Kelis - 'No Security'

9. Crookers ft. The Very Best, Marina & Dargen D’amico- 'Birthday Bash'

11. Crookers ft. Roisin Murphy - 'Royal T'

12. Crookers ft. Miike Snow - 'Remedy'

15. Crookers ft. Steed Lord - 'Transilvania'

and the funny

19. 'Day N’ Nite' (Acapella Skit)

The rest is not good.

Regarding the Spank Rock track, I expected something much similar to Keep my Composure...but this is most YoYoYoYo style... and less than 2 minutes...quite disappointing.

no, YoYoYoYo was much better than that !

Ah, at least I have the masterpiece new Gorillaz album and the new Bonobo album !
