3 stars A mixed bag
Basement Jaxx's first album has turned out to be a real mixed bag in terms of quality. On the one hand we have songs like Rendezvous, Jump and Shout, and Bingo Bango, which are classic pumping beats that make you glad you bought the CD. On the other hand though, songs like Being With U, Dont Give Up and Always Be There ruin the experience by being downright awful. Try and pick up the singles instead.
