"The Streets"

Their "music" is pap in my opinion.
But I have respect for the lead "singer" who pretty much admits that.

He doesn't pretend there is some hidden message in his "art", he just says he tells stories about things that happen to him in life.

Well done to him. Made himself a lot of cash from pretty crap stuff.

It was painful watching it on Johnathan/Jonathan/Johnathon/Jonathon Ross last night.
I cringed.

And the song is crap anyway, so God knows what I expected.

I'm serious about the following comment - Bill Bailey's performance of The World Has a Face was far superior.

I quite like 'Original Pirate Material' its pretty decent

the best ones are

"The irony of it all"
"turn the page"
"Don't mug yourself"


:^)

It's total crap - but quite fun to listen to, just because of the lyrics.
Sorry, 'lyrics'.

I didn't order chicken ....

He's talking over a beat, thats it, but it's decent.

The lyrics are pretty good aswell.

Take a listen to "The irony of it all" and "It's too late"

I like it, but only becasue it IS talking made into a song, and they;ve pulled it off.

'Weak become heroes'

Pure crap in my opinion. I try to avoid The Streets stuff like the plague, although the plague is far less dangerous to my health then those horrible records.

Im not a fan of the group on a whole, but they have released the odd song that i have liked. Dont think i would consider buying the album though.

I dislike the new track "fit but you know it", But O.P.M is a superb album if you take a listen to some of the tracks on it.

Superb

Mostly poo, but some of the singles have been quite catchy.
