Hovering in that cool zone between smooth soul and street-fueled growl, Roberts and his emphatic posse maintain a versatile, free-flowing dialogue that is clean and concise, never busy or cluttered. They are brimming with ideas as they follow Roberts' acrobatic keening through the robust kick-off of "Fame & Four Tune," "Slideshow," and the lengthy workout "Through The Eyes of Psychoville."
