STEREO MCS: DOUBLE BUBBLE (Graffiti) *
NO CLICHE is left unturned on Double Bubble. An emptiness permeates the Stereo MCs ninth album as stock beat after stock sample seems to yearn for the early Nineties to return, of Ebeneezer Goode and the band’s own Connected, the eventual Carphone Warehouse anthem. As for Rob Birch’s inner city ‘observations’, they aren’t those of a social commentator.
