4.0 out of 5 stars If you liked "Start the Commotion" by the Wiseguys..., November 1, 2001
By Knyte "To The Stars" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
  
I first heard Mint Royale's music on a dance mix CD -- the song was called "Don't Falter", and to this day I do not understand why this wasn't a huge hit during the summer of 2000; this bright, breezy, guitar-laced jam is the reason I bought this album. Luckily, there's a lot more on here. Here are my favorite songs on the album, in order:

Track #2: Don't Falter (I already discussed this one)

Track #1: From Rusholme With Love - this one is great. Has that 'Fatboy Slim' retro-bounce to it. Love it!

Track #4: Because I'm Worth It - More of that Big-Beat, Fatboy sound. Bouncy and hip.

Track #3: Show Me - Celebratory sounding. Samples a Bertha Egnos (South Africa) song called "Sesiya Hamba" and it shows. A member from De La Soul raps here. I want to hear the original song now...

Track #6: Take It Easy - Great song...nonstop dancing.

Track #9: Diagonal Girl - the fastest of all my faves...has a "chase" sound to it, like something BT would have composed for the movie "Go".

Hmm...need more convincin, eh? Alright. I am by no means an electronica expert...but I do dig the happier, fun stuff like Daft Punk's "Digital Love", Fatboy Slim's fun stuff -- especially "Gangster Trippin", and Groove Armada's "I See You Baby". If you like those too, you're in the clear. If you don't, you might want to listen to the audio samples (that is if your computer will let you!) first. But all things considered (seriously), if you like dance music with leanings towards 'Big Beat' ala the Wiseguys or Fatboy Slim, by all means -- proceed. Give 'On The Ropes' by Mint Royale a chance. You'll probably like it.

Thanks for reading!

C.H.R.

5.0 out of 5 stars Party Masterpiece on Speed/Prozac Cocktail, July 5, 2001
By Alpha Centauri (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
Mint Royale has put out a complex, upbeat, fun, musical party masterpiece of an album. This mere density of melodies and content of this album is amazing. "Deadbeat" is a bubbly, hyperactive dance tune of whimsy that will send all of its listeners into an orgasmic twirl. "Shake Me" has a nostalgic, old school sound that sounds like what "Grease 2000" might would be like. Other favorites of mine include "Because I'm Worth It" and "Diagonal Girl." This group has the creativity of the Beatles, yet they're hip, danceable, and square, all at the same time
