Disco de The Herbaliser: “Something Wicked This Way Comes”

An entertaining eclectic mix of jazzy hip hop in the Ninja Tunes style. If you like other stablemates on the ninja label you'll be right at home with this little pearl.

Can't recommend this album enough. The beats are organic with a tasteful use of well placed samples. Breakbeat-esque.

There is also a lot of horns on this album, which just kill it. They add so much IMO.

Herbaliser is to music, like a package of wipes for my new-born baby's butt! it's refreshing, renewing, invigorating, necessary. A bunch of artists with a keen ear for melody, arrangement and production! wow, what a brilliant sense of stereophonic harmonies. Really a complete package for those among us who like Hip Hop, Jazz, Funk that involves good musicianship and inspired sensitivity. Highly recommended band whose music is a mixed bag of old-skool rhythms and new school rhymes. Now, if you'll excuse me i have to change yet another diaper. Meanwhile, i'll have another listen to any of their albums, expectantly i can always hear something new!

The album toggles between rap and instrumental music. I'm pretty picky when it comes to rap. I've always liked the rappers under the Ninja tunes label more so than others out there. The rap songs on this album are mediocre, but I'm probably not the best person to judge.

The instrumentals are fun "Shaft" 70'sish style of funk, with # 5 being the hit that everyone will like. The instrumentals all have the NIce scratchin that you have come to enjoy from the Herbaliser. Over all I think its well worth the buy, however I'm going to have to say that "Blow your Headphones" is still the masterpiece.
