A remarkable return to form, however it won't satisfy all streets fans. In my opinion this album seems somewhere between Original Pirate Material and A Grand Don't Come for Free. This album sees a much more grown up Skinner returning with some great concepts and the usual 'wittyisms.'

Everything is Borrowed- Uplifting beat, classic streets, great chorus. 8/10

Heaven for the Weather- Dry humour combined with decent production, another happy go lucky track. 7/10

I Love You More- The simple piano is the best thing about this track, he has done this concept to death. Not great. 4/10

The Way of The Dodo- Another positive message, more old school Streets beat. Whether Skinner can pull of the preaching I'll let you decide. 6/10

Flip The Coin- Liked the concept of the track, technically one the best songs he has written, his words just work on this track 8/10

Edge of the Cliff- Track about how far Mike's come, back from the 'edge of the cliff' (Drugs and Drink wise) I love this track its positve and thought provoking music. 9/10

Sherry End- Like this, bouncy interesting beat, combined with witty lyrics. 6.5/10

Never Give In- Bored me to be honest. 3/10

Alleged Legends- Commenting on religion, skinner's attempt at philosophy, kind of manages to pull it off. 7/10

Strongest Person I Know- In the model of 'I Never Went To Church' not as good however. 5/10

The Escapist- Great finish to the album, another great concept and some good singing, positive skinner. 8/10

A very 'grown up' album, better than his third album yet very different.
Add it your collection and bring on a fifth album.
