I LOVE Fatboy Slim and everything he does.

It's garbage. This is no reflection on you (don't shoot the messenger, right?), but of all your album reviews I've read, this is the absolute worst album ever made. I admire your fairness to musical diversity, but Fatboy is a talentless waste of flesh. It's fitting that Geoff worships him like a god.

I was originally going to use the word disposable, but decided that was a bit harsh. I mean, it's fine for jumping around on a dance floor for a couple of hours. After leaving the club you won't remember any of it though. And just a note on album selection...they are randomly chosen by these guys: https://1001albumsgenerator.com/

Yeah. I guess garbage is a mean thing to say about an artist. I mean, GG Allin is one of the most repulsive "artists" ever, but I can appreciate him for what he did. But when it comes to Fatboy Slim, I really dislike his song Heaven. It's not right. I may not be the best Christian to walk the earth, but that song right there is detestable at best, blasphemous for sure. What does he think, people think it's his crack at gospel music? Give me a break.

I don't think he was referencing anything about religion or Christianity. I think it was more of a statement of being really, really happy about something. Like when somebody says "I'm in seventh heaven" or think of Cubs fans being in heaven after they finally won the World Series.

I can agree with that. I guess I just don't like the song. He rubs me the wrong way.
