One of several new Acts I first encountered on the fabulous Jools Holland Show on New Years' Eve. (the only place I get to hear new music these days)
'PLAN B' for me is a peculiar mixture of sounds; I shut my eyes whilst watching them, and it sounded like a young Boy George singing at times; also a bit 'motowny' in style too in places - along with of course some 'Rapping'. Not one for Rapping myself, but I have to say; when put to the backing of some really good sounding music instead of just a loud overbearing beat as it is done here - it really is quite tolerable!
The Show featured at least three tracks if I remember correctly from this album which is what made me decide I would purchase the CD. However; when the CD arrived, there was an 'advisory' sticker to warn of some 'explicit' content. I can never understand why Bands do this; unless it is to either impress some followers - or to shock others. In any event, for me it does neither...
The album is top notch music-wise - lyrics somewhat 'wanting' in my opinion - but then who really ever listens to lyrics anymore? Many of the Songs end rather abrubtly (no fade outs) which lend a 'live' experience to the performance for its Listener.
I really like the sound of this Band, and I should imagine after only one hearing it will most certainly grow with repeated plays. In the meantime, I am knocking one star off my rating (would have given it five without hesitation otherwise) for the unnecessary and pointless 'expletives'. Sorry guys!
The CD also comes with some 'Bonus' content - I never go much for that myself, and as I received a 'warning' on my PC when trying to load it I simply 'ditched' the stuff and didn't bother... If it's free stuff, then why not simply include it 'fully' on the CD?
TRIVIA: CD has an impressive look of an old vinyl record!
