We reviewed Mehsopuria's self-titled disc last week and that was pretty good, and we were expecting similar things from his good friend Khiza. However, 'Game Over' doesn't come near. There's a lot of poor production on the album, volumes on different instruments out of place and stuff like that, schoolboy errors really (now I sound like Alan Hansen!).

The album starts up with 'Ranjha Jogi', as if that wasn't a surprise. This is a big tune, with Mehsopuria's vocals and a dancehall impact from Juki Ranks. Getting heavy rotation on all networks, this is the best tune on the album. In fact, it's more than that as all the other good stuff on here is very similar to this.

Track two is 'Girl Look So Hot', and it features Apache Indian, apparently. Thing is, the dhol is so damn loud you can't hear a word he says. When the dhol is taken away it sounds like an alright tune, but I tried to listen to it through headphones and got a headache.

We then get a taste of some garage, with 'Ams-Khiza "Splendid"', which features struggling garage singer Mark Dwayne. Now, there's a story behind this track…as you all know, I work at Dixons in Birmingham and about a year ago, before I worked there, Mark Dwayne used to come in the shop and play this tune on all the hifis in a pathetic attempt to get publicity, which really annoyed the staff. It got to a point that Chris Smith, a deputy manager, turned the power off to the entire store to get him out. The tune itself could've been alright about five years ago, but this 2004 and straight garage tracks are gone….also, in the album sleeve, Khiza or DJ Ams aren't credited as writers for this track, which isn't surprising as this is totally alien to the rest of the stuff on the album.

'Phatt Ke' comes next and features Mehsopuria. This is all right, much better than the last two tracks but the chords are still a bit too loud. To be honest, even though this track isn't that bad, some of it sounds like its been done on a kid's toy keyboard. It takes back to basics to a new level.

We then get some uptempo disco stuff with 'Deewana Hoon'. In essence this is a creative track, mimicking Spanish star Enrique Iglesias's 'Love To See You Cry'. But on a negative side the saxophone is so damn loud that it sounds like the soundtrack to an 80's porn film. It's another one that I simply couldn't listen to through headphones.

Shazad Raza stays on for a second track with 'Aaja Pyar Kar Le', a pulsating affair which is good for a minute but sounds the same all the way through. Borrrrrrrrrrrrring.

Finally we nearly get a return to the standards of 'Ranjha Jogi' with track seven, 'Take You Home'. More of an hip-hop track than anything else, but rapping from Archa General and Malik compliments the singing from Mynx. The beat is ok even if the Asian influence is lacking.

Mehsopuria comes back for 'Mina Mina', which is another high standard tune. A carbon copy of the first track, but with some English singing from Shanika. My second favourite track from the album but it is so similar to 'Ranjha Jogi' it is untrue.

'Teri Chahat' is the penultimate track, with singing from Shazad Raza. Again, another decently envisioned track, but the music comes across as very flat and computer based.

No Asian album is complete without a remix, and Khiza does the same here. The desi version of 'Ranjha Jogi' is more up-tempo and in some respects better than the original. Normally, remixes at the end of an album get slated for alack of creativity, but this one is pretty good, even if it does cut out without finishing, did Khiza forget to press the fade out button? Shocking.

'Game Over' has some good vocal performances and lots of good ideas, but they are put poorly into practise. Like most albums there are some smashes and some tracks to make up the space, but this album has got more fillers than the night shift at Asda. I mean, 'Game Over'? I was thinking so during the middle of the album. I'd give it a 6 out of 10, so if it's a toss up between this and Mehsopuria's offering, this should definitely stay on the shelf.
