Classic Album Review: Slick Sixty | Nibs & Nabs

The London trio could be the top contenders for the ChemBros' heavyweight belt.

This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


If the Chemical Brothers are the current heavyweight champions of the BBWF — the Big Beat Wrestling Federation — then London trio Slick Sixty could very well be the top contenders for their tag-team belt.

They’ve got the moves and the skills — lumbering, body-slamming beats, pile-driving bass lines, scratching that talks trash in yer ear and superfly, Daft Punk-ish jams that get you in a headlock until you beg for mercy. And with song titles like Hilary, Last Of The Pool Sharks, Recliner Classic and — what a coincidence — The Wrestler, well, let’s just say the Chems might need some brass knuckles in their trunks if they want to stay on top.
