Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Slime and Reason presents an altogether more cheery Rodney Smith to the troubled soul we met on 2005's Awfully Deep, a record that found its creator battling depression and fighting demons from the psychiatrist's chair. Indeed, lead-off single "Buff Nuff" is possibly Roots Manuva's plain silliest track to date, a wobbly dancehall number produced by Sheffield newcomer Toddla T. Elsewhere on Slime and Reason, though, we find Roots Manuva seeking a happy mid-point between gloom and frivolity, musing on life and love with his unique philosophy of world-wearied wisdom, fire-and-brimstone religion, and sly British humour. "Again and Again" is one of Roots' finest tracks to date, a bumping British digi-reggae cut featuring a cameo from Ricky Ranking. "Let the Spirit Move You", produced by Metronomy's Joseph Mount, is balmy electro-pop in a minor key. And "It's Me Oh Lord" finds Smith revisting his past as the child of a Pentecostal preacher, a chilly gospel number swathed in thick, gloopy synthesiser, heavy with spiritual musings. Slime and Reason might be diverse in tone, but it's the sort of record that allows a talent like Smith to show off his range, and on this evidence, there's few who can touch him. ––Louis Pattison Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - bad newsSorry to drop this on anyone who's looking forward to a great new album from roots manuva based on the so-far glowing amazon reviews, but this is a very bad album. I've been a fan for years and years and my honest first, second and third impressions (it didn't get a fourth listen, i'm afraid) were that he's hard up and put out an album as quickly as possibly, despite having no content and nothing to say. I hope this is true, because if not this a blight on his artistic record. In 'collosal insight' on awfully deep(get hold of the limited addition bonus cd if possible, called 'the noodle pack')roots manuva sings "this could well be my last LP; i've had a good run, i've made a few G's; now it's time to rest my knobbly ...

It hasn't been off my stereo since. If you like hip-hop you need this record. Rating: - The best album yet!!!This is the best album Roots Manuva has done to date. Even better than 'dare i say it' Run Come Save Me. Buy this album you wont be disapointed. Rating: - Roots Manuva- Slime & Reason LP Review (8.5/10)South London's finest Rooty-Toot Maunva (aka Rodney Smith) is back with his fourth and most varied album yet. 3 years since his last release proper, Roots Manuva has shown he is an artist who hasn't been afraid to experiment with his sound, implementing a host of influences from the classic roots-reggae to electro; analogue dub to rocksteady funk. His ability to fuse these base elements into a product that is undeniably his own has led to his music being instantly recognisable, what with the warping dub-plates and skanking electroid melodics. Add to this his sharp, patois-tinged, tongue-in-cheek lyrics that address issues from the music industry to urban society, gal-dem to relationships, and you have the proof behind why Roots is deservedly one ...
