Amazon.co.uk Review
Strange title but perhaps one that will become increasingly familiar if It's All About The Stragglers earns what might be its deserved status as enduring pop masterpiece. Essentially UK garage with the vocal sheen of US R&B, there is also a wealth of detail and reference that defies easy categorisation. And despite the confusing statistic of nine different vocalists (including Craig David and Robbie Craig) spread over 12 tracks, there is a flow and clarity to Stragglers. Much of it comes from their minimal palette of tight garage beats and pretty keyboard sounds that twinkle like a sonic rendering of fairy-lights. Other elements are dance (both pop and underground) staples: Ibizan guitars, rave-accelerated vocals, tech-house textures and subtle digital arabesques. Every track sounds like a single (four UK Top 10 hits had already been taken from it on its release including number one "Re-Rewind") and all precariously balance a killer pop sensibility with gestures towards a sexier, urban dance floor. Unbeatable stuff--and if a touch child-like (compared to say NIN) then also more than a little sublime. --Tony Marcus
