Further features New York-based drum'n'bass artist DJ Dara throwing down many of the same sort of records he had on past mix albums for Moonshine. Though the names of the producers change -- some of the featured producers on this mix including DJ SS, Dom & Keaton, Agent Babylon, Asides & Randall, JB, Universal Project, Sonic, Ink, and more -- the style of drum'n'bass doesn't. And this makes the album's title, Further, somewhat of a contradiction -- partly because you have to wonder how much "further" Dara can take his sound by this point, in 2002, a decade into the evolution of drum'n'bass. Nonetheless, Dara does change up his style a bit here, just not as much as the album title may lead you to believe. Therefore, anyone who appreciates his previous mixes (his production work is a different story) should find much to enjoy here. So, in a way, it's a good thing Dara doesn't take his style as "far" in a new direction as he claims. After all, he became one of North America's leading drum'n'bass DJs for a reason. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

Gives You Hell All-American Rejects |
| Boy meets girl, boy and girl break up due to one guilty party....and then the wrath ensues. It's well trodden ground for the All American Rejects, who sound less like rejects and more like exactly what I would expect from Middle American white frat rock. 3 albums in I would hope to see more progression on topic from this mid-twenties Oklahoma 4 piece. That said, the hook is catchy and the production is amazing, meaning that this will be a guaranteed hit even if it feels a bit paint by numbers for those of us who have heard it all before.
