a masterpiece 16 Mar 2005
Format:Audio CD
Had heard a lot of good things about this album but, at the time, was a committed indie fan so didn't really take much notice of the hype, then i actually heard the album. Every track on this album is great, from turn the page to stay positive, with the stand out tracks being the magnificent weak become heroes and the under-rated its too late. The main attraction of this album is that it speaks to everyone and everyone can relate to what mike skinner is saying in these songs, from indie fans who woul never go near this type of music, to dance fans who will like the beats in songs like weak become heroes and has it come to this.

Masterful, quality, top-notch Urban poetry at its gritty best. Skinner lays insightful, dark, deep, philosophical - often plain hilarious lyrics over quality beats to achieve an unforgettable album. "Turn the page" - what a beautiful beautiful song. Powerful lyrics with a rising, rising pheonix of a garage beat - the strings repeating, rising. Beautiful. Seriously, it makes my spine tingle when I listen to it. Such a good album. "Geezers need excitement" - dark social commentary that provides a superb line. The rest of the album is equally superb - please buy this.

Masterful. Such a good album. If you haven't listenend to this yet, you're in for a treat. Don't listen to anyone who calls it "chavvy" or anything like that, and don't be put off by the hip-hop/garage sound to Skinner's music, this is an album that transcends any boundaries - if you love music and have an open-mind, you'll soon recognise how superb this album is.

...and I hate garage! 29 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Just like some of the other reviews, I intensly dislike garage - the music and life behind it all. But this album is sheer genius. In one sentence Mike Skinner can sum up more about teenage life in (South) London than So Solid could in a whole album. Every record is intelligent, thought through and well delivered. And in the case of "The Irony of It All", also extremely amusing in places.

Ignore the barriers of what style of music you would normally buy and go and get this album today.

Mike Skinner is best at summing up his own work: "Brace yourself, cos this goes deep," "This ain't your archetypal street sound," and "I excel in content and deliverance." He's right on all three.

CD doesn't even work!
Bought it as advertised as a new CD and then stupidly on my part didn't play it as soon as it arrived. Have now found out that it doesn't work. Read more

Perhaps, in Mike Skinner's words it's a "cult classic, not bestseller."

Great CD
I bought all of the Streets' albums. I would have rated 5-stars, but a number of the CD cases were broken when they arrived.

awesome tunes, good to hear some of the old material. With so much new about, you forget how good the older stuff is.

The final word on UK garage
A record that managed to do what no other "urban" garage album had managed before; combine deep bass-driven hooks, intelligent lyrics and sublime melodies. Read more

Brilliant - Buy it.
Heard a track off this album on late night radio - I was hooked.
This guy is a genius - can't get enough of it.
