Customer Reviews of BlowBack

That being said, I believe this album is a very strong performance by Tricky and his guests, and I would hardily recommend it to anyone with tastes running along the lines of rock, reggae, or trip-hop. I bought this CD about a week ago and it hasn't left the player since.

Many CDs touting guest vocalists misuse the additions, just throwing in their efforts willy-nilly - they have (*insert famous person's name*) singing on their album, and that's all they care about. Unlike that scenario, there's a well-planned, conscientious effort on "BlowBack" to use the guest's talents in the wisest ways, orchestrating each vocalist's strengths like instruments in the right combination and place.

"Evolution Revolution Love" is a very catchy tune, and the duel between Ed Kowalcyzk and Hawkman's vocals, which are complete opposite styles, really sets it off. I'm very fond of "You Don't Wanna," a sexy song with a Eurythmics "Here Comes the Rain"-like bass line. Also, "Excess" and "Bury the Evidence" prove to be very interesting songs. The rest of the album is a veritable feast for the ears.

This CD's songs are so good and broadly cross so many different styles and genres, it sounds more like a greatest hits rather than a single effort. Great job!

Tricky looks for new fans
I admit I didn't know who the hell is Tricky, but I'm following every musical step of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I heard they would be on this CD so I wanted to give it a try. I went to a shop and listened to 'Wonder Woman', a song with Tricky and John Frusciante doing the vocals. I was really impressed so I bought it.

'Blowback' contains some beautiful Tricky songs with even more collaborations than the 'Nearly God' project. First of all I'd like to mention Hawkman, the reggae rapper without whom I couldn't imagine this album. He sings 'Diss Never' into one of my favorite songs ever. The single 'Evolution Revolution Love' would be a great songs if not the exaggerated chorus of Ed Kowalczyk, but the superb Tricky-Hawkman cooperation makes it a good listen. I feel like I'm gonna miss Hawk on Tricky's next album if he won't be there.

However, it were the tracks 'Excess' 'A Song For Yukiko' and 'Five Days' which I listened to when I decided to buy Tricky's debut, 'Maxinquaye'. Especially the moody song with the Japanese vocals is made exactly for saying good night. As I said,
I love the Pepper songs here though they are a bit 'Peppers'.

For being fair I'd like to say that after listening to Tricky's other albums, I miss Martina, the female singer, very much. Ambersunshower has a good voice but I think no other female singer is able to give you such beautiful moments like Martina. But the world changes and I can't complain about it.

'Blowback' is a quality album that may have won some new Tricky fans like me.

disappointment
I bought this cd because it is Tricky. I love all his solo albums because they are so unique and challenging. For me I don't like his collaborations and this is no exception. My favourite track is "A song for Yukiko" which is the only Tricky song on the album.
