Review

E-Z Rollers' sophomore album explores territory much closer to the jazzy coffee-table side of drum'n'bass than the group's previous output. The beats are mostly simple two-steps, though the background effects and basslines are quite strong, whether on vocal tracks like "Tough at the Top" or the downtempo "Nightfall" as well as rougher tracks like the tech-step roller "Soundclash." Informed listeners will know enough to expect plenty of upright bass, stuttered keys, and slapping percussion, but veteran producers Jay Hurren and Alex Banks string it all together very well. Weekend World is a good blend of jungle's lighter sound with the occasional darker texture. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
