There's been a lot of arse(TM) spoken about this album, by people who looked at it from a purely Drum and Bass angle. I waited for this album for 5 months, and had it ordered ready for me to pick it up at 8am the morning it came out, 3 mths prior to the release date. And I'm happy to say I wasn't disappointed. Being a hardened fan of drum and bass, breakbeats, and hip hop, this album brings all three genres together in a futuristic harmony of breaks, beats and vocals. There are a number of very different tracks on this album. One of my personal favourites is Track 15,Centre of the Storm, which has vocals by Zack de la Rocha (of Rage Against The Machine fame)sounds like an unlikely combination, but it turn it up loud and it'll rip you apart. It's a shame there's nothing on the lines of Brown Paper Bag (New Forms), but that's not what this album is about. It's about seeing into the future and experimenting...daring to try something new. Not about trying to emulate the past. This is a very different album to New Forms, make no mistake. But no record collection should be without either of them. Size was heavily criticised for NEw Forms as everyone decided he had sold out, which sadly meant the brilliance of the album was overshadowed. In The Mode follows the lead set by New Forms through being something very different to anythign that's been around before. It's fresh, futuristic, and flows beautifully. Buy it,put on a set of headphones, turn it up loud, let the sounds of Size take you away, and appreciate it for what it is.

Well blow me if Roni Size et al haven't gone and bloomin' done it again! New Forms was different, intriguing, full of jazzy bits and some great amen breaks. In The Mode is even better. Anybody who's seen this album thrashed out live will know that this one just gets better with every listen. Opening track 'Railing Pt2' is a sort of call-to-arms for the Reprazent family and flips into the second track 'In and Out' almost without you're having noticed. This is where the fun begins. This track rolls along nicely, building gently as it steam-rollers through your speakers and then it just seems to say, 'okay, enough playing about...have some SERIOUS bass' and drops the first of a series of huge f#*k-off bass-lines that you really have to find a good system to appreciate fully. Don't get me wrong, the effect is great through your £5-99 boots walkman earphones, but oh my God, if you give it room to breathe with a bass-booster on your hifi, make sure your parents are out and you've got some thick walls as you're gonna feel this one through the floor.Be warned.
Then we get a break, (to fully appreciate the last track I think) before we hit the Method-Man contribution: Ghetto Celebrity. As ever, Meth is on rude form, rapping at the speed of the track (no mean feat when you think about it) and spitting out some real hard-edge lyrics - I'm sure you've all read about his treatment of the Lady Di situation.
Things then go through the old-style Reprazent with bold, jazzy tracks that have Onnalee's singer/song-writer skills all over them. "Lucky Pressure" and "Manic Chaos" seem almost to draw the attention back to where Reprazent have come from, the troubles and expectations they've overcome to get to this point and what they stand for as a group. Bring on the future! We get it too, with Rhazel of the Roots creating a track that contains no instruments other than his amazing vocal talents that just grabs you and shakes you about once you've got over the fact that it's just one guy doing all this. Then comes the single, "Who Told You?". It's a very future track with MC Dynamite showing his skills and it gets your head bobbing beautifully as the tempo is upped once more. In fact,that's very much the style of this album; periods of hard, fast drum'n'bass with a cutting edge, then a recovery track, then it works back up to another huge tune with ear-bleed bass. Track 14 is another one to watch for. Zack de la Rocha spits out fire and brimstone over some large-scale cinematics from the Bristol boys. I suspect Krust probably had a fair amount to do with this one as well.
Track 17 is the one everyone will remember, again, especially if you've seen it live. The bass kick on this track has to be heard to be believed. So good is it, that during their recent London Shepherd's Bush gig that was broadcast on Radio 1, they called for a rewind and almost started a riot. Just put the volume to the max and pray nothing shatters when it hits, but you are practically obliged by law to play this as loud as you possibly can. Got yourself a new woofer? This is your test track.
All in all, this album is a bit fast and abrasive on first listen. Not at all the smooth rolling beats we came to expect of Roni Size and crew post New Forms. Give it time however and you may never take it off your stereo. I'm off out to find a country-house where I can set up the 200w speakers I'm going to buy. Then I can really get to enjoy this album.

As soon as this came through the door I wacked it on the stereo and began to listen, and as a massive Roni Size fan I found this to be quite different to some of his other music, this album defiantly has some awesome sounds and will make you tap away! I very much like this and found it to be very adventurous and always changes throughout the album, very funky stuff and awesome to chill too, defiantly worth the money! Overall I would say if you like Roni Size then get it!!

Better than the original
A fantastic album that, provided you have a good sound system, won't leave your stereo any time soon. The focus is more on Dynamite this time around, and boy, does he sparkle! Read more

Catchy but not amazing
