"The first two albums The Streets put out blew me away. Original Pirate Material was fresh and abstract while A Grand Don't Come For Free was full of heart-felt tracks that I couldn't help but love. It seems with this album, Mike Skinner got lazy. The music, while catchy, is hardly original and the lyrics... aren't even in the same league as the first two albums. When You Wasn't Famous, the first single is just alright. I actually prefer the Professor Green remix. This album is mostly filler, with a few good tracks like Never Went To Church. Overall, I do like this album, it just doesn't compare to the first two."
The least of The Streets, but still mighty fun

"Look, this isn't brilliant or ground-breaking stuff, but it is a lot of fun. Buy a used copy for $2 or so and you won't be unhappy. If new to the band, start your Mike Skinner experience with A Grand Don't Come for Free."
