Despite a decade of overseas popularity, Brit dance act Faithless have yet to score a U.S. hit, even off the back of ex-vocalist Dido's solo success. That could change with this album's high point, the explicitly political "Mass Destruction." A remixed single version, included here as part of a bonus video, explodes into a thoroughly rocking chorus: "Whether Halliburton, Enron or anyone/Greed is a weapon of mass destruction." The rest of the record is divided into a pair of suites about love and life -- more Pink Floyd than Pink. Multi-instrumentalist Sister Bliss mixes dense trance and down-tempo tenderness; MC Maxi Jazz brings the rhyming philosophy. And a Dido cameo brings a dash of star power to a record rich in its own merits.
