      The bass guitar on "Nothin' To It" is fantastic! Great album, one of their best.

        In my opinion, their strongest album from beginning to end. Not a weak song here, and their musicianship is in top form (as always).
        One listen to the short but sweet "Universal" tells you that these guys were not messing around, and it sets the standard for the rest of the album.

        A funk ESSENTIAL.
