I've been a fan of Tricky since his Massive Attack days and the journey through his albums hasn't always been a good one. "Maxinquaye" is still his finest moment, but "Blowback" comes very close. By his standards, this is a pop album and sounds like a US-style counterpoint to the Bristol-based Maxinquaye.

A bright and clean(ish) first half containing fab riffs on Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" and the theme from Wonder Woman, gradually twists into the kind of shadowy raving Tricky is best known for. To wrap things up, the final listed track, "Song For Yukiko" throws a swerve. It's a strange, beautiful piano-based song that's unlike anything he's done before. There are two additional tracks on the CD, including an "Evolution" remix, but that's where it should end.

Great contributions from most of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cyndi Lauper and Alanis Morissette help shape an album that, as always, sounds like nothing else on the planet.

This album is a great return to form for the old Trickster. his last album "Juxtapose" was a slick reinvention, finding comfort in the American form of Hip Hop. Here Tricky seems to have become homesick and has once again returned to the paranoia surrounding his beautiful first two albums. The contraversial front cover, was banned from posters in Hollywood, it is of him recieving a "blowback" (a form of Cannabis smoking)from a seemingly near naked lady. This controversy is carried through in his choices of singers employed. Collaborating with Alanis Morrisette and Cyndi Lauper on "Excess" and "Five Days" respectively would seem offputting. Don't be fooled, their voices seem somehow fit, like Terry Hall's and Alison Moyet's did in his Nearly God project. Having said that this is no "Maxinquaye," the dark blend of Hip Hop and downbeats is there, but there is also something else; As Tricky matures he has become aware of the music that surrounds him and what charts. There is a certain pop tinge to this album, but this is also good. The bleakness interspersed with pure listening pleasure. As can be seen on the, very catchy, fothcoming single "Evolution Revolution Love." I am a huge fan of Tricky's, I have been disappointed, now I am slowly returning to the fold. Buy it!

Tricky pulls it off 6 July 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Having never before been able to bear more than five minutes of Tricky's music (that five mins being Black Steel off Maxinquaye) I wasn't really bothered about this being released. Until I was standing in a record shop earlier this week listening to some of the most interesting, challenging and yet instantly accesible sounds I have heard in ages. Going to the counter I was a little disappointed to hear it was the new Tricky album "It can't be Tricky, I hate Tricky".

Anyway, repeated listening on a long train journey to and from Sheffield has confirmed my initial suspicion. Tricky has made a fine album with some exceptional support from a range of vocalists. Hawkman offers a deep, scary growl while Ambersunshower gives her beautiful tones to a couple of tracks lifting them higher than you can hope. Even Cyndi Lauper manages to finally burn her netting skirts and hairbands and prove what she has been begging people to believe for 15 years - she is no novelty act. The only disappointments are the Chilli Peppers style Girls (pointless) and surprisingly the Tricky/Cobain collaboration "Something in the way" which just doesn't quite work.

An interesting, deep yet easily accesible album and one which I am sure towards the end of the year will feature in many best of lists.

Another great and typically, uncliched Tricky Album
The first thing I do with all of Tricky's records is buy it, then, wait until it is bed-time, turn out the lights, get into bed, put on my oversized headphones and press play. Read more

A lighter Tricky
Having only heard the Evolution Revolution Love (a great collabaration between rock, dance, and reggae) I decided to buy the album. I was not disappointed. Read more

Excellent album, definately one of his best!

Tricky returns with the album everyone expected 3 years ago.
At last, Tricky fulfills the potential his early work showed, and regains the explosive dominant form he displayed with Maxinquaye. Read more
