Product Description
From Amazon.com
British trip-hop phenomenon Tricky embarks on a second hypnotic, chilled-out ride to the outer limits. Guest artistes include Bjork, Neneh Cherry, Terry Hall, and Alison Moyet (who sings "Make a Change," the most accessible track here). --Jeff Bateman
Chronique amazon.fr
Tricky fait partie de ces artistes qui refusent de stagner. Entre chaque disque du Kid de Bristol, les évolutions sont énormes. Mais même au sein d'une discographie aussi diversifiée, Nearly God est un OVNI. Et pour cause. Sorti entre Maxinquaye et Pre-Millenium Tension, Nearly God n'est pas vraiment un album de Tricky, mais plutôt un side project du "roi du trip-hop".
À la fois intimiste, sombre, chaotique et intense, il s'agit très certainement du plus beau disque de Tricky, voire du trip-hop en général. Dès le premier morceau, "Tattoo", la voix éraillée du Kid emporte et plonge l'auditeur dans une mélopée angoissée et déchirante. Mais, au-delà de la beauté des chansons, la particularité de "Nearly God" se trouve dans ses participations. Bjork, Terry Hall ou encore Neneh Cherry sont au programme de ce disque. Et le résultat est à la hauteur des attentes avec de tels participants. Un disque essentiel, en forme de quintessence du trip-hop. --Romaric Bullier

Not quite but Nearly God, May 29 2002
By MUSIC LOVER - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nearly God (Audio CD)
I'm a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and got introduced to the world of Tricky with 'Blowback' 2001. I wanted to hear more and bought 'Maxinquaye' and 'Pre-Millenium Tension'. With Maxinquayebeing the masterwork and PMT the follow-up, I was attracted by the pseudonym Nearly God. I was sure that it'd be worth the money
First I didn't get into a couple of songs like Tattoo or Keep Your Mouth Shut but after the 2nd listen the whole CD turned into
pure enjoyment. And if you liked Martina on 'Maxinquaye', you'll definitely like this. 'Poems' is one of the most sensitive songs ever written, first there's Tricky's spoken rap, acoustic guitar in between, Terry Hall's singing brings it to the climax and then
comes...Martina. You count every line she sings, you wish she'll never stop and when she's gone, sad feelings overcome you as if
they were real.Switch over to 'Black Coffee'.
Also the guest singers did a good job here. Terry Hall on 'Poems'
and 'Bubbles', Björk is as good as ever but Neneh Cherry doesn't fit to the atmosphere of this beautiful and dark album. Some of the best music I've ever heard, and probably you after you read my review.

The Blatant Truth about Tricky's Music!, Jan 10 2003
By Arish "A+" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nearly God (Audio CD)
This is a masterpiece !This cd illustrates Tricky's full trip hop ability. All the songs all have the same mood and nothing is out of place. Bjork is featured on this cd along with Martina(His X Girlfriend). The music is classic and the stand out track is a Creepy masterpiece called "Poems". Which I believe "Broken Homes" on "Angels with Dirty Faces" was crafted after. Tricky is on a slow path to destruction, His 1st three efforts were really great this includes Maxinqueye, Nearly God, Pre millennium Tension. After these three efforts the split between Tricky and his girlfriend Martina really made a difference. You can tell that her voice was a huge motivation in his music. With the abscence of her voice you can tell that the creativity just wasn't there. Tricky isn't a singer and with out a female voice over his voice,it lacks alot. His new effort "BlowBack" is completley crap, it is basically a attempt at rock music because he is bullheaded and just can't except the fact he can't sing. "Ruff Guide" which is supposidly a Greatest Hits that will give you a basic outline of Tricky's career. And if you compare the notes with each song you will see the difference in the material. "Angels with Dirty Faces" only hints at the magic that Tricky and Martina once had. "Broken Homes" is the masterpiece on that cd, and that is it. But anyway I hope this review has been extremley helpful to someone. Because Lord knows! I quit purchasing Tricky after I bought Juxtapose and got a rude awakening. Tricky his know longer on the right path, Hopefully someone can convince him to get another female vocalist and do the creepy, Haunting creative abtract beats that made him Famous!
1. Maxinqueye *****
2. Nearly God *****
3. Pre Millenium Tension *** 1/2
4. Angels with Dirty Faces **
5. Juxtapose *
6. Blowback (-*)
7. Ruff Guide ****
8. Grass roots ep **
(I hope this is helpful to anyone out there)

Very nearly perfect..., May 27 2003
By Andrew J. Jennings - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nearly God (Audio CD)
Ok, Nearly God is something I bought without consciously knowing I was looking for it. I found it in a used store ... and figured I'd give it a try. Well, let me tell you, NOW I'm hooked.At first listen, you might not like it because it's not your typical techno trancy stuff. The trick is, you have to listen to it numerous times to truly appreciate the album. It is genuinely worth the effort, though. I'll tell u why.
Some of the best tracks on this record are "Poems", which will turn you on in no time flat. "Make a Change" is also very meditative. Even "Keep Your Mouth Shut", with its slight hip-hop intro will blow your ...world, friend:)
I only give it 4 stars because, while the record is truly amazing, it is hard to play it the whole way through. I'm telling you, though, purchase this album because it's really good and you will find youself repeating certain tracks over and over again. If u are looking for a dope experience without the marijuana, then go to ur nearest record store, buy the cd and play it with some fine wine and a good friend (and make amazing love):)
