The masters of art have a strange ability to raise more questions than they answer. By luck or design Pip has done just this. No track yet made by Scroobius Pip beats the strength and indignation he possesses in 'Introdiction', which bodes well for his forthcoming solo album 'Distraction Pieces'. Its important not to be too distracted when listening though; the war drums and blitzkrieg guitars set an apocalyptic build-up to what could be something fantastic. "If your goal is always to improve on yourself", you've got your work cut out.
Words from Matt Hardy

The Logic Of Chance Review
After studying 'Angles', lyrically and musically, Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip had set the bar high, and in the first 8 bars of the 'The Logic Of Chance' they'd broken the record once again. 'Sick Tonight' just made me happy; pure and simple.
If their first record sounded like they were working with each other, their second sounds like they were working together. But at the same time, each could so easily be individual pieces of art, working on the same theme. Both artists are in tune with modern culture: Dan Le Sac flips through electro, hip-hop, drum and bass to dub-step, while Pip's social commentary is spot on, holding a mirror to society. My flat mate commented, " its so easy to comment but never actually do anything", but its in talking about it, getting it on the radio, getting it on the stereo, people hear about it and talk about it, that the work gets done.
That's what this album does, 'Great Britain' teaches us complacency is not enough, with the company of a great electro-beat. 'Get Better' has the best lines I have heard in a long time. 'The Beat' shows that Le Sac is a true scholar of modern music, which just begs to be played on the biggest sound system you can find.
All in all, Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip are the partnership that British music has been waiting for. (and the albums bloody brilliant)
