Culture of Fear (Gatefold LP Jacket) (2 Lp's)

Despite its pointed title, Culture of Fear is not quite as politically minded as Thievery Corporation's previous studio album. While dubwise tracks such as "Overstand" and "False Flag Dub," along with the Mr. Lif feature "Culture of Fear," continue the themes of 2008's Radio Retaliation, a higher number of cuts -- including "Take My Soul," "Where It All Starts," "Is It Over?," and "Safar (The Journey)" -- feature the duo's heavy-lidded grooves with seductive female vocals. ~ Andy Kellman
