Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars [Clean] [Edited] by Fatboy Slim

Pros: Funk, Gospel, and house, all melded together.
Cons: Fatboy Slim Neophytes will be put off. Takes time to grow on you.

Fatboy Slim has released yet another grand, grand album. Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars is a bit of a different direction for Slim's work. It still shows a lot of elements of his earlier work, but it shows a definite change in...

Pros: Great as usual
Cons: none

Yes I can very boldly say that I am Fatboy's biggest fan! At least I want to be. I have bought everyone of his albums and his 4th and latest album - Halfway between the gutter and the stars - and its sooooo goooood! This album is a look back at all his...

Pros: funky, groovy dance music
Cons: very repetitive songs

Fatboy Slim (born Norman Cook) is one of England's premier dance music artists. He is much sought after for his remixing techniques, and his skills as a DJ are legendary. Most Americans hadn't heard of him until the monster hit "ROCKEFELLA...

Pros: Great collaborations with Old Greats and new Stars.
Cons: That stupid plastic thing on the top of the case that you can't get off with a belt sander.

Ok, all of you Fatboy Slim fans out there, don't expect another "Praise You" or "Rockafeller Skank" in this one! "Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars" is DEFINITELY not like any FBS album to date. Trust me, I've spent...

Pros: 'Retox'. 'Bird Of Prey'
Cons: Macy Gray... what went wrong?

At this moment, hundreds of people are going 'wheres the next Rockefellar Skank?'. And where is it indeed. No diesrespect, Norman, but you could do much, much better. It comes off more of a half assed attempt at a house record yet still secretly...

Pros: A great showcase of musical ability
Cons: A great disappointed for those of you who loved "Youve come..."

After the dance anthems of Youve come a long way baby, the masses were pumped for Fatboy's new release. After his Great Remixes (a great addition to anyones dance collection) we finally get Halfway between the gutter and the stars. (explicit and edited)...

Pros: Some Great Songs in There
Cons: The others are poor

I've been a fan of Fatboy Slim since his first album. One of the major differences between this album and the previous ones is that this one contains a number of songs with a substantial amount of lyrics.

Track 11, Song For Shelter, has...

Pros: influential dance rhythms and beats
Cons: not for young adults, language can be explicit

Coming off "You've Come A Long Way Baby" was a big feat for an artist that finally scored in the U.S., but this release solidifies Fatboy Slim's prominent rise in the dance music community. Artists such as Madonna, Olive and Morcheeba should...

Pros: It is Fatboy Slim
Cons: Not as good as his previous work

I can never get enough of Fatboy Slim. I was dying to get this album but I have to say I have been disappointed. I have read several interviews where he talks at length about his new sound and how it differs from his previous albums. I like this album...

Pros: Great music
Cons: Not enough great music

You have to admire Fatboy Slim for the great variety of music on this CD. There are samples from Morrison, Macy Gray, as well as a reverand. The 10 tracks play almost seamlessly. Fatboy Slim is the type of artist that rarely gets the recognition he...
