RJD2's second album had the hardest job in his catalogue, following a debut that had already been pulled apart by everyone who owned it. His answer was to widen the frame: guitars, live drums and his own singing sit alongside the sample work on Exotic Talk, 1976 and Iced Lightning, and the record is better for refusing to be a sequel. Twenty years on it reads less like a sophomore wobble than the moment he became a songwriter. This 2024 reissue of the 2004 original runs across two eco yellow LPs.
