Amazon.co.uk Review:
So, what to do once you've pushed things forward, had a song and a little dance about it and sold the t-shirt? Push things back? Mike Skinner, aka The Streets, faced such a quandary following the comparatively aimless shambles that was third album The Hardest Way to Make An Easy Living which hobbled with neither a clear style or sense of self; a significant problem when he'd justified his existence on incisive social narrations, a unique voice and sharp musical intuitions. He was in need of either a hark back to the glory of his debut (2002's Original Pirate Material) or a full reinvention. As chances of him having enjoyed a rubbery kebab from a plastic tray in a town-centre gutter at 4am of late are slim, a reinvention it is then. Everything Is Borrowed concentrates squarely on the feel-good vibe that has driven his celebrated live shows, staying optimistic even when low-key, an intention emphasised by his accrual of a live band to record with in the studio for the first time and fire the tone. And to go with big production ideals come bigger ideas and his transformation from commentator to pub philosopher, putting the world to rights. Ok, so that may only be a moderate success--his ponderings aren't especially progressed and his vocabulary disappointingly stumpy--but bright summer sing-along "Heaven for the Weather", speakeasy jazz 2-step "I Love You More" and chill-out rambling gospel anthem "The Escapist" more than justify the gamble. --James Berry
Rating:
- His best.
I just can't understand why this album has got some bad reviews as it is Skinners best album by far.
There are some excellent tracks especially "Everything Is Borrowed" "On The Edge Of A Cliff" "Escapist" and "Heaven For The Weather" (which is irresistibly bouncy and singalong). Skinners softer side appears on the lovely "Strongest Person I Know".
Musically this is by far Skinners most accessible album with some really catchy tunes not just the hard beats we find so often ... Read More
Rating:
- Excellent
One of my purchases of the year and easily the best Streets album so far. This album Mike grows up a bit and after watching the Beat Stevie series on TV you can see that an enourmous amount of work has gone into the production elements of this album - some of the string arrangement on this album are beautiful and I the lyrics compliment them perfectly.
Overall this is definately worth a buy, yes MS is never going to be the best singer in the word but even the off-key notes are endeering ... Read More
Rating: - I love this album!!!
This is an excellent album! It has such a typically streets british feel! It is slightly more experimental with the choirs and more instruments! A lot of people have slated the Dodo tune, its awesome, it is so ska its great! Alleged legends has a real funk feel to it and i love you more just makes you want to keep hitting the replay button with its positive upbeat skank! Great, great, great! I love the way Mikes albums so reflect where he is at in life. It would seem by this album that as he matures ... Read More
Rating:
- Thought-provoking music
Mike Skinner's fourth album is far better than its immediate predecessor while not reaching the heights of his first two.
What I deduce from it is that Skinner has much mellowed and matured and is spending a good deal of his riches on books, particularly ones by Richard Dawkins and Bill Bryson's A Short History Of Nearly Everything. I say this because of the rational, secular, scientific outlook of songs such as Heaven For The Weather ('let's rely on our minds', rather than theology, he pleads), ... Read More
Rating:
- Dreadful
A deeply disappointing combination of insistently repetitive and lazily unimaginative "tunes" with unremarkable lyrics, this has little or none of the humour, inventiveness and poetry of Original Pirate Material... This sounds more like the end of the road for the Streets than any kind of 'return to form' that the industry puff might try to lead you to believe.
