CD ReviewsGreat track selection, VERY poor djing (mixing) Eugene Bakarjiev | 12/25/2001 (2 out of 5 stars) "Listen to the 30 second song samples above, and you'll hear a great variety of beats, most a bit dark but quite funky. Stereo MCs have thrown together a lot of catchy, interesting tracks, and the album has enough changes in tempo and mood to keep ya guessing... BUT, BUT, BUT... shabby mixing, man. That's what those 30 second samples don't reveal. I mean yikes, the transition from track 1 to 2 is an outright TRAINWRECK- S.MCs don't even attempt to mix the two songs, and it left quite a sour taste in my mouth from the get-go. I'm a dj myself, and by no means any good in my opinion, but I would at least have the decency to MATCH THE BEATS on any mix album I'd put out. They do it again later in album, simply fading from one song to the next without beat matching, which may not be noticable to some, but I know one of the tracks, and the lack o' mix there was quite obvious to me. They do mix some tracks well, but hey, these beats aren't very complex, and there are too many holes in this mix album to be excused. Cheers to Stereo Mc's for their choice of music; some excellent funk and hip-hop selections, but jeers for a poor showcase of beatmatching and overall dj skills. Man, I would consider my own djing skills as just above amatuer, and I could have whipped up most of this mix album- if that tells you anything. Again, listen to the track samples to get a feel for the music selection.. but take it from me, the mixing here isn't anything to scream about. peace." The Best of the Series!!! T. K. Keeney | South Shore, Massachusetts, USA | 06/19/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "By far, the best of the Kicks series. This release is solid the entire way through, with incredible varied styles and turntable genius. If you are looking for music that makes you nod your head in uncontrollable agreement, this is it. A lot of the other DJ Kicks CD's in the series burn out about half way through. This one keeps the journey on task - you continue to guess and are not disappointed. Just excellent." Good, not great 08/16/2001 (3 out of 5 stars) "I really like Stereo Mc's, and this disc reflects their style well. However, the tracks didn't flow as smoothly together as I'd have liked, and I was surprised and EXTREMELY disappointed by the inclusion of track 15 which expresses some very blatant anti-gay bigotry. (Yes, I pay attention to lyrics, even on a disc like this.) Stereo Mc's normally being the crown princes of tolerance and uplifting themes in music, this came as quite a shock."
