    Essential.

    Where once he growled his rhymes through gritted teeth or abortively gulped them down altogether, now the beats let him breathe. [Jul 2007, p.113]

    He retains much of his distinctive diction, self-effacing humor, and minimal production flourishes and guest appearances by Lily Allen and Artic Monkeys' Alex Turner help him retain a British feel. [Spring 2008, p.85]

    Our advice, then: pick and choose via online outlets to get the best out of this album, as in this instance Dizzee’s mathematical skills have failed to calculate a formula for another must-buy release.

    Probably Dizzee's funnest album, but still cuts deeper than most mainstream rappers. From the dancey fun of pussyole, to the brilliant metaphorical video and song of sirens. A great album about identity, which is what dizzee does best… Expand

    Rascit's worst album yet, and far below my expectations. But MAN, is it fun.
