I missed Tricky‘s most popular period in the mid-90s when trip-hop seemed like it just might break into the mainstream. Back then, he was young but seemingly more at ease, his music carrying a sub-Portishead quality, but still leagues better than Massive Attack. Maxinquaye is still the best album in the world to have sex to, and the fact that he one had a relationship with Bjork provides us with a fantasy of what that record might sound like.

Anyways, flash forward to 2008 and Tricky seems pretty frickin angry. Coming off like Saul Williams on a race rant, Tricky tells us to “Remember boy, you’re a superstar” on his newest single, “Council Estate,” a song that should (given a fair world) propel him to literalize that statement. It’s a five star return, definitely superior to his last two records.
