First: get a better cover. This one is a bloody insult. It's so ugly, it really hurts.
Then: Very, very well produced. Perfectly arranged and definitely composed by someone who knows what he is doing.
I found the melodic leads quite too dominant - the mostly very driving and powerful rhythmic section is well done already, it doesn't need that thick paint. Same applies to some of the breaks. Even to the second one "Don't Break It". The whole track is a real masterpiece when it comes to handling tension, arrangement and the balance between thematic introduction and contrapunction. It's perfect - but it the slight overweight that's on the 2nd break is very obvious here: the vocal sample, which is basically a foreign element is justified only by the fat lead that it rides upon. Both things are not really necessary but take the place of the track's original theme. The effect is that it's end sounds somewhat vague and incomplete.
Don't get me wrong. This album is very, very good. I would not write a word about these ridicoluos details if there was anything wrong with the complete work*. It's great- and I am sure, the producer will understand at once what I am trying to tell him. Everyone else stop reading and download it. Now!
*the cover is horrible! But the good thing with Jamendo is: you can replace it. Guess why...
