But getting back on the new single..nah not really groundbreaking . I think i will stick to his album "Original Pirate Material".

i'm off to see 'em at Brixton in the not too distant future...looking forward to it...

whats with wanting every Streets release being groundbreaking anyway, if its good decent tunage then whats the problem...?

i like the new tune, its not 'dry your eyes' or 'fit but you know it' but its still a good track....

im not saying it should be groundbreaking but im just saying it isn't. this single doesn;t come near singles like "dont mug yourself", "the irony of it all" or "fit but you know it". the chorus isn;t that great either.

its a pile of shit. I hope he's being ironic with the 'its terrible this being famous' lark. If people find it so terrible being famous then they can piss off and work in Tescos. And thats my opinionated opinion for today.

pile of shit?

do you like The Streets anyway?

because its no different to any of his other stuff accept the subject matter....of which, of course he's being ironic...(at least he's speaking about the real world in what he says, unlike most of hip hop / raps stars)

i think if you are a fan of Mike Skinner you will like this to some degree, if you are not then you will consider it shit, but then you will consider every track they've done as shit...

You guys are retarded. This track is great.

I've gotta say this is usual streets fodder and i'm hating it....

Accidentally saw them last year at T in the Park (New Order were on next and we wanted a good vantage point) and they were GUFF.


Gotta agree with the Eikman. The Cassette Boy stuff makes it much better.

I'm actually just now getting into the new single. Somehow it grabs me now.
