So, bought it at lunch today. Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemons You Paint That Shit Gold
So, this album feels like a significant departure to me. Its still undeniably Ant and Slug, but its a side rarely seen, and the whole album is focused on it very cohesively. The beats are more organic and melancholic. A lot of keys, winds and strings, that looking at the credits aren't sampled. There is a guest appearance by Tom Waits on the album and to me that describes the whole album. The feeling I get when listening to the whole album is that Ant and Slug listened to a lot of Tom Waits albums.

Not that that's a bad thing, its actually a very good thing, unless you were expecting a more straight up hip-hop album.
