Pretty impressive. Still standing the test of time.

"Three Simple Words 14. Wiggedy WackGood stuff. They still got that funkiness of "Something Good,"plus more. The tracks are quite diverse in styles. "Power to the beats" is a great breakbeat tune I could see Fatboy Slim remixing. Lost Vagueness is up-beat, trancy-- Paul Oakenfold had already used in his Travelling album. B777 is a great melodic trance tune perhaps resembling Art of Trance and someother Platipus record lable group. Vocals in "three simples words" are quite beautiful. A few other tracks may be compared to Basement Jaxx or Leftfield. Eventhough Utah Saints shows diversity in their music they still maintained their signature sounds (you'll figure out listening to them). They've spinned with Leftfield on Radio 1 UK, essential mix. So I guess they could be comparable. A great buy, though."
Much-anticipated second album, no disappointment!

"The sound of this CD is a little more "hip hop influence" than their first self-titled album. But the upbeat happy dance tunes still have Utah Saints' distinguished flavor. The vocals by Michael Stipe add a nice twist on "Sun" and "Rhinoceros". I really liked "Power to the Beats (Todd Edwards Power Chord Remix)" (funky and upbeat) and "Massive" (imagine if Utah Saints and Robert Miles watched "Neverending Story" and then compiled something...that kind of sound though Miles probably had nothing to do with it). Go to the listing and sound clips for the "regular" release of this album for an idea. If you like Moby, Orb, or Fatboy Slim, check this out!"
