    So is the consensus then that the material is weak or the artists is kinda
    well, lacklustre? I have never been that much of a fan of his, even the
    DJ-Kicks was tres ordinaire, but this latest is real weak in my opinion, not
    even one track has any really outstanding beats, let alone the ohter
    essential elements!
