It's hard not to compare this to the brilliant Peep Show as David and Robert are the co-stars again. Robert doesn't do a lot of humorous stuff though, playing the straight man, with much of the humour left to David and the secondary characters. The whole tone of the show is just a bit odd, it's not that funny, and it feels like it jumps around too much from one episode to the next. The flashbacks to David's childhood at the beginning of the series seemed like they'd be a constant, but that didn't eventuate. The most interesting part of it is the 'mystery' about who Andrew is.

This is decent, but overall it's very standard early '90s boom bap. There's nothing bad, apart from some long skits, but not much has stuck after a few spins. A number of the best songs have familiar samples. Beats: ★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★ Hooks: ★★☆ Best Tracks: Ain't a Damned Thing Changed, Comp Stompin', Rap to You, The Emerald City

I had to double check that this was the same Pooh Man/MC Pooh who dropped some underrated gems like 'Ain't No Love' and 'Judgement Day' because the music is so damn soft. 'Lay You Down' is a bit more of a sex song, but elsewhere the EP is full of love songs with emotionally sung hooks and is a far-cry from his future work that is a lot harder. Best Tracks: Lay You Down

After enjoying Mario's previous album, 'Turning Point', the album that gave him superstardom, this was a disappointment. There are great moments, but they aren't as vast as 'Turning Point' and there are just more lulls. As 'Turning Point' did, this begins with a uptempo track that works really well and there are a number of good songs until one of Mario's best ever songs, 'How Do I Breathe', but there are too many skippable moments in the second half with the run from 'Lay in My Bed' to 'Let Me Watch' featuring the biggest offenders. He redeemed himself with the overlooked follow up 'D.N.A.' in '09. Best Tracks: Go, Crying Out For Me, How Do I Breathe, Do Right

Spice's albums continue to slip since his '97 effort, 'The Black Bossalini'. It's all okay. 'Murder Man Dance' is the best, largely thanks to its UGK feature, but there is nothing to get excited about. While still having lots of credits to their names, the producers aren't as well known as Spice had previously and the instrumentation is a step below his earlier projects. As the list below shows, there is nothing bad, but I won't be checking for this album again.
