So this is the difficult second album released by Hackney born rapper Stephen Paul Manderson AKA Professor Green. So often the second album never lives up to the success or hype of a artists previous album but personally I feel that this album has achieved this criteria and has in fact improved upon his first album `Alive Till I'm Dead'. What makes this album work is a lot down to his collaborators, many of which I had never heard of such as Sierra Kusterbeck or Ruth Anne Cunningham, their vocals are desperately needed to break up Green's quick, witty but often dragged out lyrics. I'm not entirely sure what age group this album is suppose to appeal to, it has a good mixture of upbeat and slower tracks but many of the tracks contain explicit lyrics which may offend some listeners. Saying that who in this genre doesn't use explicit lyrics these days.

There are songs on this album which do disappoint me such as the title track `At Your Convenience' and `Doll' but there are so many more songs which make this album one of the best I've heard this year. I especially like `D.P.M.O', `Remedy' and `Avalon'. It is very easy to compare Mr. Green with Eminem but I glad that although you can tell that Eminem is a big influence on Green, its good to see that he has begun to take his own direction and as long as he continues in that direction he will enjoy much needed recognition and album success. Keep up the good work.

I liked a lot of pro's previous songs but had to agree he seemed a bit like a whiny Eminem wannabe, however after hearing his new songs i decided to give the album a try and was pleasantly surprised. The gritty rap is still there but its matured and evolved into more melodic hip-hop. The artists featured on the album are relatively unknown, but the 2 songs with Emeli Sande really do stand out.

I was really excited to buy this album as I am in love with the previous album "Alive Till I'm Dead". I bought it last week and I have not been disapointed, it is an incredible album that displays Professsor Green's musicality and ridiculous lyrical talent. This album has solidified my love and absolute respect for this english rapper. From start to finish this cd mixes fun, energetic tracks that easily pump you up and make you laugh like the title track that opens the album and "D.P.M.O" with slower, heartfelt songs like "Astronaut" and "Today I Cried" that showcase both the brilliant unknown singers that get their chance to shine on this album and Professor Greens' ability to truly contemplate and anylise his life in a very appealing and beautiful way.
This is an album that is well worth your money and can appeal to guys and girls from all classes of living as long as they like grime, hiphop and rap and can appreciate soulful singer/songwriter melodies in Professor Green's evolution and growth from his previous project. This is my favourite album of the year, tied with the Bad Meets Evil: Hell The Sequel LP that has similar aspects to this one when it vomes to lyrical abilities and haunting choruses. ( Infact, Bad Meets Evil's Royce da 5'9 even guest spots on " nightmares with an excellent verse to match Pro Green's sick verse about a cartoon-like criminal mindset that celebrates violence in a humourous way that does not offend but entertains.)
No criticisms, perfect album that puts the rapper miles ahead of some of my other favourite rappers like Chipmunk and Wretch 32, even the lyrically brilliant Devlin. Do not hesitate, BUY THIS ALBUM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Professor green is a great rapper. A britsh verison of Eminem, his songs are fantastic. Wrote the album himself and Emile Sande is also on the album on 2 songs. If you love Eminem then you will love Professor Green

Not really my style of music, I bought it for the "Avalon" track used in the tv ad. The cd is ok, and I bought the Versaemerge cd on the back of this.

It came really quickly and it said that it will take a week but it came a couple of days after ordering it.

This is a slick, good sounding rap record but particularly up front its just too run of the mill. fortunately the predictable lyrics of Remedy and the over produced sound of Avalon do fade into mellow and more thoughtful tracks like Astronaut but overall the cliches are too heavy, the portraits too gimicky and this at least for me is not an album i will often revisit.

Bought for my teenage son. Not sure he has listened to it much. It's one of those that was only popular for a short time and is now forgotten.

I bought this because it wasn't much more than to buy the few songs I had heard and wanted. Some of the songs are good and I enjoy listening to, others just seem to have been written and thrown in to fill the album.

I loved this album, it's not just Prof. snappy, flowing raps but the backing tracks, various collaborating vocals, the different musical arrangements!
Not every single track is brilliant but I would say a 3rd or more of the album is!
