DavidCMay 7, 2006I'm not a lover of "rap". I own some Jurassic 5 CD's but that's about it. The Streets appeal to a wider audience because Mike's lyrics (as with those of Arctic Monkeys) speak to the concerns of your average Brit. Listening to his albums, I laugh, I cry; these songs speak to me in a way no other artist?s work does. His Dad would indeed be proud.

JarrodPMay 9, 2006Original Pirate Material was a 10, A Grand Dont Come For Free was an 8. This is the most disappointing album Ive heard in a long long time. What happened Mick???

derayrApr 25, 2006Mike skinner is the king of white rappers this is a definite album of the year contender. Paul wall should not have a record contract.

BoLApr 26, 2006This guy is crap. Nothing creative in his beats. Nothing creative in his flow. Just awkward talking. I am missing the beauty of this white boy. I think white folks are just looking for the next great white hope that Eminem used to be.

Apr 14, 2015I like this album by The Streets, but not nearly as much as their 2 previous albums, which in my opinion are amazing. I just don't think this album is as introspective as their previous work and feels kind of like fluff.

Under The RadarThroughout, Skinner's production is more precise, his hooks more pointed and polished, and his writing more clever and poignant. [#13, p.89]
-
With about half the tracks on this record falling short, Skinner would seem to be teetering on the edge of irrelevance. But even the failed tracks here sound interesting, and if he's lost his way somewhat thematically, it's all in the name of searching for his new voice.

A Behind the Music episode converted into a diffuse, rave-schooled song cycle.
