5.0 out of 5 stars Blown Away !!!!!!!!!!!, March 9, 2005

Why (OH WHY) doesn't more D&B sound like THIS ??????
Not since "New Forms" (roni size/reprazent 97') have I been more excited about the drum & bass genre.
The title track "High Society" is a refreshingly hip, bright, vocally ingenious, MASTERPIECE!!!
Venturing further into the album, I could not believe my ears! The tracks just kept on jammin'& jammin' with tight beats, kick-ur-but bass lines balanced with colorful, yet elegant sounds that I'd Never Heard Before.
"Racing Green" Yesterday's Colours" "The Basement Track" "Lovesick" "Brief Encounters". Up tempo down tempo: the rhythms compelled my full attention with smart beats other-worldly melodies and vocals that seamlessly blended into each track.
The album is brilliantly cohesive, yet, each track (amazingly) mantains it's own individuality.

SUV and London Elektricity d&b are pretty Hip too.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best D-n-B album for 2004 and beyond, November 13, 2004

I have paid attention more to d-n-b this year, the beats on this album are incredible especially LOVESICK. This has the same feel when I discovered London Eleckricity last year (labelmates on Hospital Records). This entire album frees my mind everytime. You gotta pick this up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing d'n'b soul energy!, October 7, 2004

How does he do it? This kid is only 21 and he produces music like a seasoned professional! Well he is. He's like Mozart. After his acclaimed first album, with at least a couple hits, he followed it up with the amazing, hit after hit, 'high society.' The album is incredibly diverse, but the theme is soul. Lincoln is using more vocals this time and even has songs with lyrics. But they don't move away from the d'n'b genre, they redefine it. Don't get me wrong, this album tears it up but it also has songs that will take you to another place. Each song is unique, and deceptively simple, actually complex. If you want to hear the newest, most groundbreaking anomaly in music, pick up high society.
