Its a interesting and decent to OK production but no more – I think he has and can do better – but some good ideas – Godzilla is the standout for me!

If that was his point than he's succeeding on his own terms. Whether his audience appreciates his tunes being only in "one realm" is another.It's also worth mentioning that like all other releases, One Foot Ahead Of the Other" doesn't exist in a vacuum, but rather is competing with a lot of very diverse stuff. In other words, the one realm Zomby pictures his release in shares space with so much more, and expectations are affected by that as well.
