LoLaJul 21, 2007Really enjoyed some of her tracks......but listening to the album straight through is a straight bore. She has this nonchalant monotone voice that gets on your nerves after 4 songs.

petecAug 10, 2007I thought this album was really good! Its way different to other pop albums and Lily uses really new and unique lyrics! She also deals with issues which teens can relate to! Such as having an annoying sibling (Alfie) or finding out people arent true friends (friend of mine)! This is a must have album in my opinion!

Nov 15, 2011The best of britpop began with this beautiful pin-up album from Lily Allen. She setted again the fire for the pop from the Great Britain, with different style. We get the best from her in 'Alfie', 'Smile' and 'LDN', songs that remind us from the very first beggining of the knockout of England, musically speaking.

Apr 16, 2014I laughed a lot with this album. Lily just explores things through other points of view. She's literal: she doesn't need to say what she believes with metaphors, she just says what she feels with the words she feels. All tracks are catchy and lovely. Her voice is sweet, and the music is just great. I really enjoyed this album: it's hilariously good!

Sep 9, 2015Though it feels quite derivative of pissy Brits that have come before, I LOVE PISSY BRITS! I find this album to be super fun and has a sound that feels like a breathe of fresh air. I love the pace of the album and each song has a special place for me... plus, I find the lyrics to be genuine, which is always what I'm looking for!

Aug 6, 2013There are no bad songs on this album. This will always be my favorite CD and Lily will always be one of my favorite singers. The best track is probably "Friday Night".

[Anonymous]Oct 24, 2006Why do we have to be subjected to another talentless Brit Pop waste of space. I wouldn't buy this even if it were the last album on the face of the planet

mattaAug 14, 2006People who rate this album low are trying way too hard to be cool. Like last year's Annie-Anniemal disc, this is just pure pop music, and anyway who thinks its overproduced, or the lyrics are cheesy need to lighten up (or just stick with tv on the radio).

GretchenVSep 27, 2006I think Lily is truly a unique talent. Could the music be a little more gritty like her lyrics, sure, but the bubble gum makes the lyrics seem sarcastic and silly. I love the giggle I get just listening to her make light of getting her friends to beat up her ex.....it's classic.

saramcgJan 2, 2007Bland and dull. Why such a success - well because Lily is brilliant at being ... well ... Lily Allen. But musically? Its nothing much. poppy, ephemeral, quick to date and really a bit vapid. Prediction: 1 more album, then an acting - or possibly presenting - career will beckon. She's good, but not neccesarily at this. She is also - lets be honest - just a tad irritating.

HenrikAFeb 3, 2007a really refreshing album with varation in the songs, lots of really good songs and few stinkers makes this a good buy for anyone that likes this kind of music. Personal favorites: 1. Littlest Things 2. Alfie 3. Smile 4. Not Big 5. Friday Night I won't push it as far as to give it a 10 because there are better albums out there but still, it's a pretty darn good album.

Seeds13Feb 9, 20074 points go to Lily's legs. 1 point for the music. Dull. Belongs in an elevator. When will we divide music into two groups: people who are musicians, and people who make music. Lily Allen belongs to the latter.

bNov 22, 2006this is bubblegum music with an edge.....she brought salvation to ska and rescue to pop....and does it with more wit than most platinum music stars today

timeOct 18, 2006I paid $23 for this record and I have to say it was worth every penny. Yes she's brash, arrogant, rude and perverse but that's what makes her so endearing.

TasminJul 24, 2006It is a very good album and my favourite song is 'Smile'!!

GraemeRJul 29, 2006Smells a little too much of major record label involvement to be the 'real thing'. She signed her record deal with EMI in 2005, which takes all of the truth out of her coming through myspace. Oh well, we always get the pop music we deserve

FionaLJul 30, 2006I'll give it to her, she has a good voice. But the music is so overproduced and the lyrics vapid. Sorry, I don't get it.

MichaelWFeb 10, 20072nd best album of 2006 (after Arctic Monkeys), but I guess it'll be for 2007 thanks to Capital.

MartinSFeb 26, 2007I'm probably like some starved beachcomer stubling on a saltine but after the last year of switch stations when a Gwen Stefani song comes on this album is a real breath. Let's hope it starts a trend.

BenKMay 11, 2007Although there are weak spots on the album, it is generally a pretty solid effort. Lily's music both quirky and original. Her lyrics are very straight-forward and witty, with really blunt innuendo. I enjoy her music a lot...."Everything's Just Wonderful" and "Alfie" are just amazing.

Lyrically, Allen spins the street-slang tales of blowjobs and booze told with varying success by everyone from The Streets to Shampoo.
-
Sheâ??s funky, confident and fun, and thatâ??s just on the first song.
-
For now, it's way more than a stop-gap but sadly not the second coming you might have been hoping for.
