Norman Cook may represent the idiot-grinning soundtrack of choice for naff advertising execs, but there is still something life-affirming about the bounce and brashness of the Fatboyโ€™s fourth album?especially after the overly manicured maturity of Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars four years ago. Having co-produced Blurโ€™s Think Tank last year, Cook recruits Damon Albarn for the sleepy-eyed country-soul jam โ€œPut It Backโ€, while Bootsy Collins guests on a rubbish cover of Steve Millerโ€™s โ€œThe Jokerโ€. There are more live instruments and vocalists than usual, but otherwise that gloriously stupid clod-hopping mash-up formula remains. Bubblegum for the ears? Sure, thatโ€™s pop music.
