I loved Cool Steady & Easy - definitely one of my favorite CDs of all time. Saw BFE in NY a couple of years ago too; they were great live. Too bad this CD is such a disappointment. It contains none of the enthusiasm and energy of CSE. There just aren't many good ideas. The riffs are repetitive and the melodies weak, and many of the tunes drone on and on endlessly, in particular "Mambo con Dancehall" which is so annoying after a while I want to tear my hair out. The crosscultural borrowing of styles was fun on CSE but really sounds forced on this recording. And what is up with the guy with the low voice and Caribbean accent, who now appears on three or four tracks? Am I supposed to be impressed that he can groan, croak and moan like a zoned-out Rasta mental patient? A good cure for insomnia. Boring, like most of the record.
