Editorial Review: Album Description: English version featuring different cover art. Amazon.com: The U.K.-based Sneaker Pimps combine standard rock guitar parts with trip-hop beats and clear white-soul vocals, and, when strumming an acoustic guitar (as on the first single, "6 Underground"), the trio is virtually indistinguishable from Luscious Jackson. While using electronica's signifiers--jungle's rattle, trip-hop's dark churn, ambient's synth washes, hip-hop's samples--Sneaker Pimps never stray far from the comfy world of the pop song. Becoming X's opener, "Low Place Like Home," is only one step from Alanis, while the rousing closer is as breathy and sunny as the Cardigans. --Roni Sarig Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - old stuffPIMPIN!!!! lol 6 under is the best! This is for the people who listend to them back in the day. Rating:  - "Becoming X" I've had this cd forever but recently put it on my iPod and started listening to it again. I know there's so much debate about what "trip hop" really is - to me this album is definitely trip hop. It's dark and sexy but not too out there that you can't listen to it in the car. The songs are almost pop but the music really makes it work - the acoustic guitar and heavy bass beat on "Post-Modern Sleaze" is SO good. If you haven't heard this definitely give it a listen. Rating: - this is a really great, funky album, a must have in my opinion....an ex boyfriend of mine got me into this band a couple of years ago, and since then i have had many copies of this particular cd, and recently i had to replace it yet again when it mysteriously dissapeared from my apartment.. its a great, funky cd and im very dissapointed that the original female lead singer left.. i just havent been able to get into their new male lead singer line up since, and highly doubt ill ever buy any other of their cds.. this album is very full of trippy, electronic sounding tracks, kind of reminds me a bit of progressive techno in a way.. my alltime favorite tracks on here of course are 6 underground, and tesko suicide, but all together, every track is great.. ...
