"Man, these guys can't put out a bad cd. I just started listening to them last year and I've been waiting for this new cd to come out since then. And in my opinion, this is the best one yet. This album is all over the place but it stays supa-funky the whole time. Honestly this is the best cd I've picked up all year. Its got breaks,funk, electro, 2-step (but not that cheesy vocally 2-step, this bassline will rattle your teeth) and everywhere in between. Every single track is slammin'
!!!!!!PICK THIS UP!!!!!!"
Just Doesn't Gel

"Bottom Line: Not a fusion, it's a jumble of different styles that just doesn't work on this CD. Pass on this CD but give any future efforts by this duo a chance.I am the first person to applaud for mixing genres of music - when it works. But just because you can put a techno loop with a hip-hop rap with a rock rift doesn't mean it sounds good. "Human Condition" shows that. It is not that these guys are without talent, some of the loops and rifts are quite catchy, such as on songs like "Intro to Life," "Human Condition," and "Head Case." There are glimmers of promise here (especially the song "High Pursuit"), but otherwise it just plain doesn't gel. It sounds more like they were trying to throw together everything they think would be popular and hope somebody would find something to like. With a few exceptions this CD sounds very amateurish - like a kid in the basement plying with his new Acid loops. Maybe Ming and FS will get it together someday. Here's hoping."
