    slowthai gained notoriety for being unvarnished in his lyrics over his country’s politics, but that isn’t shown much on the album except for its title. He says there’s “Nothing Great About Britain“, but the same can be said about his debut album, even with the bright spots.

    Northampton’s Child has a brilliant trap-style beat which comes with one of Slowthai’s better performances, as if being more autobiographical implicitly encouraged him to find his own voice. But these moments are too few and far between to save a record that reveals the whirlwind of hype around Slowthai to be not much more than invisible garments on an arrogant emperor.

Some tracks are outstanding ('Doorman', and also 'Peace of Mind'), however the rest of them are just inferior, lack of originality within the production. Nothing Great About Britain is a reminder that even a developed country can mess themselves up too. Full Review »

    Refreshing, interesting and important. An example of some of the best British music of recent times.

    A powerful delivery by slowthai. Screams nihilism. A discussion of the social climate of Britain. Thought-provoking and powerful lyrics.
