NO-ONE could have expected a full-length album from the duo who brought us last year's spoken word rant Thou Shalt Always Kill.

Less widely successful and also less annoying than Baz Luhrmann's Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen), it told us - rather self-righteously, and with several good jokes - not to be self-righteous stereotypical modern idiots.

Unfortunately, much of the album is full of badly mangled samples, competent beats and vocals that at their worst sound like The Streets' Mike Skinner.

And for every half-decent track like Development, there's a monstrosity like recent single Look For The Woman, which is markedly inferior to the Mr Hudson tracks it resembles.
