I know there are a few Chase and status fans on here that might want to know what the new album is like, if you have not heard it yet (out on Monday).
I can confirm its awesome! Massive list of tracks, loads of featured artists and although what seemed an impossible first album to follow up I think they done really well with 'No more idols'. Its no 'more than a lot' but then I dont think it ever could be so they have done well with producing another storming album.
Highlights for me are:
Heavy Feat Dizzee - old tune but so glad it has finally been released on an album
Embrace feat White lines - awesome vocals
Time Feat Delilah - again awesome vocal and bassline
and all the singles are decent as well and fit within the album well, even ''End Credits' which is obviously the last track but fits the mood of the album perfectly. I was never the biggest fan of that track until today.
Down side is there are too many released tracks on it already, I had heard far too many of them before album release and the Ceelo Green track is not great (but then I am not his biggest fan anyhow).
Production is a lot better than More than a lot as well, although suffers on some tracks on the levels.
Either way its a great stand out album and I was convinced it would be a let down but its not, its epic
Has anyone else heard it ? I would love to hear other peoples thoughts on it

Thank god someone said that, because I usually love C&S and I listened to that Heavy tune on youtube after someone said it was good in this thread and I thought it was pretty dire

The dizzee track is awesome, its what dizzee is so good at and what so many so called grime artists wish they could be. Add the chase and status dub step production and it rocks.
Hell of a tune, and so good to here when dizzee is rocking out the commercial poop he is at the minute. Although it is making him some serious money
