Most of this album's cool as shit.
Strutting through a gauntlet of surfy, spy-movie, Tarantino//Oceans11-ready grooves, this is packed with uncut, implacable, headbobbing-assured fuckyes. Sample This, the (Netflix-ready!) doc on the Bongos track Apache points to session legend Jim Gordon, but its clear there's an army of talented, behind-the-scenes rhythmakers who contributed to this sick ass groove -- the Meters gone stoned, The MGs gone exotica.
This only falters when it gets hitched to a melody, especially on gimmicky covers of In a Gadda Da Vida and Satisfaction. This's a sound that works best when the rhythm plays lead. That happens often enough that you can cherrypick songs off here and end up with a 40 minute head start on a fucking killer poker mixtape 4/5
