One of my favourite groups is back peeps. The Herbaliser have never disappointed me with any of their critically acclaimed releases so far & this time around is no different. Now I don't want to accuse these guys of jumping on any bandwagons but there is a more Nu-Funkish sound to Same As It Ever Was, Their last album, Take London, was Hip Hop & Nu Jazz taken to another level (even more so if you got the bonus disc version) and Jean Grae & Cappo were all over the album (niceness). Jean makes her now customary (i guess) appearance on the Moody 70's b-line of Street Karma. The main vocal charge on the album overall though goes to Jessica Darling (me neither) who shows up on 5 out of 12 tracks. Yungun also drops by on the straight up head nodiness of Just Won't Stop. If these guys ever dropped a pure Hip Hop album my musical life may very well be complete. They've kept things short n sweet this time too which just means you have to rewind to take in the quality all over again. Superb stuff.
