2005's critical darling returns with another globally influenced rap-electro-dance-punk record, this one led by the track Bird Flu, which is already widely available if you enjoy illegal downloading. Besides production from Timbaland, who can't possibly be one person, there are tweaks from Diplo and Blagstar. The record was recorded in India, Trinidad, New York, London and Baltimore. Or everywhere but in M.I.A.'s native Sri Lanka.
