# EB Album Premiere: Tricky – False Idols
As promised yesterday, here's the full stream of [Tricky][1]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener"}'s tenth album *False Idols.*
We know what you're thinking so we're nailing our colors to the mast:
it's up there with *Angels With Dirty Faces---*our favorite LP by the
MC-savant. However, the album has been cited as a career-best---by the
creator himself. "Some people say it was the soundtrack to their youth,"
said Tricky in a statement on his website, of his benchmark *Maxinquaye*
album, the standard by which all his albums have come to be judged. "You
can't challenge that. But musically this is a better album."
Strong words. Now it's time to make your own call. The album certainly
doesn't lack reach, featuring guest vocals by Francesca Belmonte, Fifi
Rong, Nneka and Peter Silberman of The Antlers. Eager for more? You can
read an interview with Tricky in the next issue of *Electronic Beats
Magazine*.
Unfortunately this stream is not accessible for people living in the US.
If that's you, head [here][2]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}.
False Idols is released on May 28th, on False Idols, an imprint of
!K7.
