Customer Reviews

STOP THA HATE!
This might be the best UNKLE to date. Some might say it is too rock, but UNKLE has always had tracks that were rock. Wish I could see them live. Anyway this pick-up is a no choice if your a fan of UNKLE or just an admirer of good experimental electronic/dance.

Strong and consistent
People are discussing too much about this record beign under the name UNKLE...forget about that! This is a strong, flawless record, from beggining to end. Doesn't make any difference if it has nothing to do with the previous albuns. One of the best of 2007, for sure!

Wow
To the person who gave it two stars shame on you. Granted I've only been listening to UNKLE's work for a year now, starting with their Never Neverland promo CD, which is also some really good work. I decided to buy this one on a whim and it was a rewarding surprise. Probably my most favorite track of th whole cd is Lawless. The drums combined with the guitar booming about just makes me want to bang my head a little. I'd have to say Most of this cd is really well done. You know, sometimes an artist(s) need to try something different once in a while. This album needs more credit. And promotion. It's a shame UNKLE only came to NYC once on their whole tour. I bet the experience live would be wonderful. I also, do agree that DJ Shadows album is a huge disappointment. But, This album, war stories is great.
