    This mixtape is really good. MIA is an amazing artist. If you love mia you would love this mixtape. I think everybody should download it. I like the way the songs sounds on the mixtape. an amazing electro-dance mix. Look forward for more stuff similar to this from Mia.

    Not a huge fan of R&B or Rap, but I found this remix to be really good. The whole thing flows nicely and it made me want to dance... This is the first thing Ive heard of MIA's, made me want to go get all her other stuff.

    This was released on New Years Eve 2010, NOT 2009. But anyway I really like this mix because it sort of moves away from the beautiful chaos/ruckus that was ///Y/ and she incorporated sounds from Kala. The only thing is I think there should've been more material, or at least some of the tracks should've been a bit longer.

    It's a really enjoyable, danceable listen and sort-of return to form, with Arabic-tinged clear highlight "Bad Girls" raising expectations for her next album. However, while it works as a mixtape and could be an important turning point in her career, it doesn't deliver as a cohesive, full collection of songs quite as well as either Arular or Kala. As a free download, I'd definitelyIt's a really enjoyable, danceable listen and sort-of return to form, with Arabic-tinged clear highlight "Bad Girls" raising expectations for her next album.

    M.I.A. is one of my favorite artistss, but this is my least favorite albums of hers. It has good songs like "Marsha/Britney", but most songs are repeatative like "Super Tight".

    This mixtape is really very cool, I hope MIA produce worthy and divine mixtapes like that.
    And yes, this mixtape is well above the MINDFVCK mixtape.

    Whether she's singing it for her penniless sisters or her affluent self is impossible to tell. That's why they call her provocative. Also, um, controversial.

    This isn't a mixtape that you're going to be bumping in your crib for months to come, but it is one that is contextually very important to her career. It warrants at least one listen for that reason alone (plus it's 100% free.)

    In its brief onslaught of sneery fun, Vicki Leekx only occasionally reaches the dizzy pop heights of Arular and Kala. But it does give us an M.I.A. who, once again, seems to be having a blast doing what she's doing.
