Mr Scruff Trouser Jazz - By: Mr. G. M. Detisi, 17 May 2006 
This is one edgy album. Very unpredictable & fresh. I would recommend this to anyone who likes surreal funk that's a bit mad. Buy it otherwise your world will be too normal!

The jazz doesnt just come from the trousers. - By: Riley, 12 May 2004 This album is fantstic, my first real mr scruff experience was sittingin a flatin brighton with this album playing & the sunshining. It has a great mix of styles your sure how its meant to make you feel. Tracks such as "Sweet Smoke" & "Shrimp" want you to get up & dance & there are some perfect downtempo chilled tunes. "Ahoy There" the avalanche like last song is just crazy. "About the size of a good sardine" "Ha Ha". The World of Mr Scruff needs to spread. Buy it & make everyone listen to it. It great!
Not bad, but better out there...... - By: , 04 Dec 2003 
I dont usually do reviews, but i had 2 review this.
I was recomended this by a few mates, so i bought it, & i have 2 say i was dissapointed. Sure its a good album with some catchy beats an a few crackin samples, but if your looking for similar music with a bit of funin it then id recommend something more polished like lemon jelly (name says it all!).
Allin all youl like it, but it wont be something that staysin your stereo for very long
Well Worth Having! - By: olip74, 31 Oct 2003 
I'm a bit confused by those who say this is slow (check out tracks 2, 3, 4, & 7!) but maybe less so by those who brand it repetitive. There's still a lot of real instrumentation there to keep it interesting, to my mind, but there you go. Also I don't think this album, or any of his other output for that matter, is really supposed to be contemplated with chin-stroking scrutiny.
Rather it is fun, original & diverse, this last being why it particularly appeals to me as my tastes are very eclectic. From the disco-style waa-waa noodling of Shrimp, through to the jazz-laden breaks of Beyond & Valley of the Sausages to the fat basslines ripping through the housy Sweet Smoke & Giffin & the distinctly British rap on Vibrate (my personal favourite) this album laughs at musical conventions whilst still sounding effortlessly integral.
I appreciate that not everything will be to everyone's tastes but the energy, ingenuity & musicality of this effort surpasses, IMHO, many of the other contendersin this (ersatz?)genre of chillout/coffee table/fusion/trip-hop/etc who sometimes seem to take themselves too seriously (Groove Armada, Faithless & Morcheeba spring to mind).
