3.0 out of 5 stars I wanted to love this cd, May 13, 2004

What happened to the Allstars since "How to Operate With a Blown Mind"? What happened to the overwhelming fast, intense, dark, futuristic sound of this band? Why have they gone soft? I miss the lyrics most of all, they were a huge part of this groups sound. I mostly listen to electronic, mostly breaks and drum + bass, and just hate the mellow soft stuff, too boring. I wouldn't say that this new cd is bad though. I am just disappointed, and compared with How to Operate I think this cd is definetely lacking.

5.0 out of 5 stars hit the ground running with the new found sound...., May 17, 2002

for the last three months, i have not been able to remove this album from the cd player. this album is a testament to the diversity and skill associated with this group. no other group can successfully blend r&b, rap, funk, and various forms of techno/electronica as well as the lo-fis. 'What You Want' is a song that embraces the new lo-fi attitude... youve got to keep on keepin on... 'Deep Ellum...Hold On' makes you look around for a phone (listen, you can tell) doing a wonderful job of mixing funk and r&b, 'Don't Be Afraid Of Love' is the epitome of what this group is today, as "we hit the ground running with the new found sound", 'Feel What I Feel' reminds me of daft punk's 'digital love' track. a peppy 80's, disco-ish, clubbish, what-were-they-thinking type track, but makes you want to get up and move. 'Cattleprod' is by far my favorite track on this album, not a sophisticated song, but has all the elements of a get off your [butt] and do something attitude. 'Sleeping Faster' is just downright chill, its not hard to hide yourself in the bass-line and miss out on the world for seven solid minutes. the only complaint i have with this album is the placement of 'just enough' didnt flow at all where they put it. bottom line... excellent sophmore album (the boutique mix album doesnt count), taking some of the old lo-fi and adding a new taste to it all. extremely diverse group, 'i just cant stop this....'

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT ALBUM, March 13, 2002

Lo Fidelity Allstars' latest work "Don't be Afraid of Love" is an incredible CD with all kinds of great sounds in it. Some tracks are mellow and laid-back; like "Just Enough",which will have you paralyzed with its chilled-out beautiful music and fuzzy voiced lyrics...after that,you're back on the dancefloor when the next track "Cattleprod" starts blowin` up. Every song on the album has something worth listening to. Even the secret unlisted 13th song(that starts playing about 30 seconds after track 12)is great. Some pretty awesome stuff here...check it out!!
