Emily: I first heard Fatboy Slim when The Rockafeller Skank was the background music for one of my gymnastics recitals. We called it Funk Soul Brothers, and I absolutely hated it. I was 8. Eleven years and much more music exposure later, that hatred is gone. I'm not a huge fan of Fatboy Slim or the genre, but this album was much more enjoyable than our last foray into dance music. It had its moments of irritation, but also its moments where I wanted to get up and dance. This album would make a good party soundtrack. Who knows, maybe next time I'll bust out some of my old gymnastics moves.
Favorite Tracks: Praise You; The Rockafeller Skank; Right Here Right Now
Zack: While this album didn’t completely change my mind on beat music, it did go a long way, baby. I found it to be catchy and fun, as opposed to the weird and annoying sensation I usually get when I listen to this particular genre. It may help that I’ve heard some of these songs before (familiarity breeds comfort, after all), but I think that I enjoyed it solely because it is really a good album. Besides, anyone who makes a music video with Christopher Walken is a-okay in my book.
Favorite Tracks: The Rockafeller Skank; Praise You; Soul Surfing
