Yeah, Ok album but definetly the weakest of the masterpiece albums he has played. The best has to be Public enermy - what a record!!
Like the fact that they are pretty diverse, Zane Lowe's show is really good, pity he is so 'frantic' in his delivery!!!
have to disagree, I think this is the first true masterpiece this week, not one bad track, total dessert island disc. this album changed my life by setting a direction to my musical intrest, I was only 10 at the time and remeber it like yesterday.

but hey life would be dull if we all thought the same
The masterpieces series is a great idea and I've listened to all 8 of them so far. Long may it and Zane Low continue! Love OK Computer and Appetite For Destruction and gave The Libertines a listen (and enjoyed it outside of the cartoon lifestyle of Pete Docherty!), but I have to say I enjoyed the Public Enemy show the best. I used to be into hip hop when I was younger and used to tape the Tim Westwood rap show off of Capital Radio on a friday night for a while, but left it behind when I became obsessed with becoming the next Steve Vai! So to hear the whole of "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" again in full (with Dave Pearce!) was amazing! The energy and sheer aural assault going on in the beats is incredible. In a time where rap is dominated by mumbling idiots like 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg, the sheer rage and power in Chuck D's delivery 20 years ago is just awesome!
However, I have to say that I did enjoy GnR last night and got a childish thrill every time Axl's uncensored swearing went out on BBC Radio 1!
