5.0 out of 5 stars
Possibly the best British album of the 90s,
By A Customer
This review is from: Connected (Audio CD)
It's been eight years since this album was released, and it could be the last "proper" CD produced by the band. If that's the case, it's a shame, but it means they left on a high note. Although the title track has been (over) used by the telecomms industry, and so may grate on the ears, the rest of the album will be less familiar and needs discovering. The style is a unique kind of British rap; less aggressive than its US counterpart, and dare I say it, more intelligent. Superb backing vocals and some interesting use of samples weave around the words...

Like it or not...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Connected (Audio CD)
After watching the advert for 'indie' music of the 90's, including Stone Roses, Manics and Stereo Mc's, I decided to come onto Amazon, to listen to the album previews.Impressed with the music, I ordered it and the album is a hit with me. Starting with the famous 'Connected', the album can only get better - following with 'Ground Level' (my favourite track) 'Sketch' and 'Step It Up' the whole set up is really good. I was suprised at first to be drawn to what I thought was British Hip-Hop, but then again, I've always been influenced by the songs, not the style. This collection is quite impressive, using Rob's slight Manchester accent as vocals and the back-up singers Coffey, and the rest of them. I'm just sorry I can't recommend this to a style related music shopper, because everyone could like it, and some might not. I did. The Porcelain Mole

Underrated,

This review is from: Connected (Audio CD)
Awesome album and totally underrated. Almost any music lover will recognise the album title track but its the rest of the album that earns it legendary status in my opinion. Creation is one of my alltime favourite tracks and id say that Step It Up, Ground Level and The End are some of the best british beats of the time, songs that enter easily into the listeners mind. On the first listen of the album i had to check to see if the track had changed a few times as the flow of the album is second to none, each track glides into the next. The albums awesome but not for everybody, but im only saying that because i know some people dont like the album. If you are going to listen to Stereo MCs though, listen to this album first, not Deep Down n dirty which in my opinion is a bit of a darker album.
