Arrested Development Since The Last Time Having sold five million copies of their debut album, Arrested Development struck out so completely with its 1994 follow-up, Zingalamaduni, that they effectively threw in the towel. This comeback is no better, featuring frontman Speech's patronising, finger-wagging raps alongside aggrandising self-assessments (in one track, he compares himself to James Brown, Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X and, yes, Jesus Christ).
In 'Stand' he notes "the man who points his finger at everyone else has got four other fingers pointed back at himself". Isn't that him?
