"Compelling....Boy in Da Corner Is Nervy and Vicious...", 4 stars out of 5 - "Rascal sometimes sounds like Eazy-E, Shabba Ranks and Gary Numan, all stuck inside the same body....If you want a vision of the future of hip-hop and techno, get this record.", 5 stars out of 5 - "...This brilliantly original debut album takes taut electronic sinews and toughens them up to the consistency of razor-wire...", Included in Rolling Stone's Top 50 Records Of 2004 - "This motormouth MC lays dense, observant lyrics over brutal rhythms...", Ranked #16 in Uncut's "Albums of the Year 2003"-"An Evolutionary Step for British Urban Music...", "...Combining U.K. garage beats and a distinctly British sensibility, Rascal spits out phrases with the energy and finesse of a championship boxer..." - Rating: B+, Ranked #25 in Mojo's "The Best of 2003in, "It's the sound that gets you straightaway: odd, vaguely Asian synth melodies and bursts of guitar over skittering beats and stretched-out bass lines that snarl like Shy FX dubplates given the DJ Screw slow-mo treatment." - Grade: A-, Ranked #13 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums of 2003" - "His clattering sub bass perspective is fantastically compelling...", Included in Wire's "50 Records Of The Year 2003" - "Angry, witty and bearing new surprises with every bar..."
