    A stellar record. ... Which is to say, it’s bangers, bops and top-notch observational lyrics at every turn.

    Skinner has matured remarkably over the past two decades, and None of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive is a refreshing marker of his evolution from shy hopeless lad to eloquent wordsmith, and it is packed with poetic realism that tells an inconvenient truth. In all, nine years was well worth the wait to see Skinner return to form.

    It is a witty, catchy delight that demonstrates Skinner still has his ear to The Streets sound.

    While The Streets' five LPs each had a distinct narrative, this is different - skittish investigations into the expanded and exciting taste of a now fortysomething workaholic. [Aug 2020, p.36]

    While not quite on par with his best work, it is nonetheless a welcome and surprisingly fun return by one of Britain's great voices who has lost none of his wit and panache.

    For better or worse (mostly better), None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive captures the feeling of the Streets past, while laying out a path for its present and future.

    The key takeaway from None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive is simply that the Streets is still around and making music. Given the raging dumpster fire better known as 2020, that's not nothing. But in a summer full of triumphant blasts from the past, it's certainly not enough.

    Posner's best work since A Grand Don't Come for Free. His quips are back in strong form, as are his unique 303-esque beats. His style hasPosner's best work since A Grand Don't Come for Free.
