Anything but words

"Slick rap-rock, like Interpol meeting the Wu-Tang Clan - No doubt this was a dream come true for Banks, who once used to spin hip-hop as DJ Fancypants. But, while its slick production makes it more subtle than rap-rock alliances past, it comes off like a bid to musically supervise the next hit HBO drama. If that sounds great, walk this way, but mind the unrelentingly average songs as you go".

"Interpol frontman Paul Banks and Wu-Tang Clan legend RZA serve up an awkward mixture of rap and rock - It's hard enough pairing hip-hop with muscular rock (see Aerosmith's `Walk This Way', the original rap/rock collab), but trickier still is merging it with the wispy, touchy-feely sensibilities of American indie rock. The majority of the songs here follow the same formula, with RZA spitting gnarled verses until Banks enters with a completely incongruous chorus".
