    Because of tracks like "I Don't Need a Reason", "Bassline Junkie" or "H Town" this album is going to receive a 4/10 rating. So americanised, so commercialized and so overhyped, that's why "The Fifth" could be called "The Worst".

    Carve out the ultimate party EP, or consider the highlights too high to miss, because this is Dizzee at his breeziest and is best taken in little bits.

    The Fifth sounds like half a dozen different [albums] squashed onto one record. Not good. [Nov 2013, p.115]

    Not so much a victim of his own success, but an unwillingness to take risks in the name of music.
