It's hard to label this unique artist. This album reflects his roots and influences in hip-hop, Gospel, dub and rock without the extensive use of samples. In line with his development as an artist, Tricky is concentrating on working with musicians instead of loops. "Money Greedy" is a fast-paced, industrial-sounding track with laid-back, eerie vocals. "Broken Homes," features the unmistakable vocal style of PJ Harvey alongside Tricky. The songs on the album vary dramatically in terms of style, tempo and texture. From trip-hop to drum-and-bass, Tricky is truly one of the most talented artists, whose unique vision pushes the envelope of creativity time after time. Others songs worthy of note are "6 Minutes," "Mellow," with it's moody, dark arrangement and "Singing the Blues," with Martina on vocals.
