Babylon Posted 5 April 2006 Author Posted 5 April 2006 The first two albums were brilliant, but I always felt that it was going to be hard for The Streets to keep producing unique and quality music. I still listen to both previous albums regularly and both have a longetivity about them as in it's hard to get bored of them, so i'll just stick to those two if the new one is crap. Weak Become Heroes and Blinded By The Lights are inspiring. Just borrow it and see what you think, i'd hang back on forking out 10 squid.
Katy Posted 5 April 2006 Posted 5 April 2006 Hmm the jury is out on the one you sent me Babylon. Actually scrap that, I think some of these are ok
The Reverend Posted 5 April 2006 Posted 5 April 2006 Hmm the jury is out on the one you sent me Babylon. Actually scrap that, I think some of these are ok Whats the album called?
Muz Posted 5 April 2006 Posted 5 April 2006 Weak Become Heroes and Blinded By The Lights are inspiring. You're right there , absoloute magic.
Katy Posted 5 April 2006 Posted 5 April 2006 Whats the album called? Dunno actually, ive heard a couple of songs which Babylon very kindly sent me and they are growing on me to be honest
Matt Posted 5 April 2006 Posted 5 April 2006 Whats the album called? The hardest way to make an easy living. I've heard; "When You Wasn't Famous" (Which I like) "Pranging Out" (I'm unsure on) "Never Went To Church" (Which I really like)
jimy_g Posted 6 April 2006 Posted 6 April 2006 I think the new albums ace battle of the sexes(CLASS) hotel expressionism all goes out the window cant con an honest jon(genius) Pranging out Never went to church there all good listen to it and make your own minds up its a matter of taste

I've heard; "When You Wasn't Famous" (Which I like) "Pranging Out" (I'm unsure on) "Never Went To Church" (Which I really like) Yeah, I like the Church one. Dont think it will be a single but you never know with them ay.
Foxes 2 da grave Posted 6 April 2006 Posted 6 April 2006 Got the album and i think its great and i dont care what anyone else thinks i think its great. Long live the streets
Matt Posted 8 April 2006 Posted 8 April 2006 Yeah, I like the Church one. Dont think it will be a single but you never know with them ay. Mike Skinner was on Zane Lowe on Monday I think and he Zane was saying "Is it abit to personal for you to release as a single?" and Mike Skinner said "Nah, might as well cash in on it" it was a joke but at the same time did he mean it?
Bert Posted 8 April 2006 Posted 8 April 2006 Did anyone read that interview with him in the last Saturday's sun? I think from what i can remember "Never wen to church" was something to do with his dad. Also did anyone just catch them on channel 4??
Muz Posted 8 April 2006 Posted 8 April 2006 I've listened to the album and although its not a patch on the first two , It's deffo not rubbish. I had gone off the Streets but Im starting to get back into them
Matt Posted 9 April 2006 Posted 9 April 2006 Did anyone read that interview with him in the last Saturday's sun? I think from what i can remember "Never wen to church" was something to do with his dad. Also did anyone just catch them on channel 4?? Yeah saw them on Channel 4 and Pressed Red on BBC interactive and theres a special 5 songs from the (Lets Push things forward, Dry Your Eyes, Never Went to Church, Fit But You Know It, and I can't remember the other one) I really used to hate Mike Skinner, but I heard the second album and really got into them, although I like the second album I still had the opinion Mike Skinner was a twat but recently all the promo he seems to be doing i've started to like him, I havn't heard the first album, someone at work has it and says he'd burn it for me but that was ages ago so i'll try and borrow it tommorrow I think. I'd like to see The Streets live, i'd imagine it'd be a good gig, On BBC Interactive "Fit But You Know It" is REALLY good, love it. Listening to A Grand Don't Come For Free now.

The first album is superb, the best out of the 3 IMO. Not sure whether it will have the same effect for you after hearing the other 2 first but when Original Pirate Material came out it was completely unique and still is. That album also coincided with an amazing summer and I relate it to that which also means I will always class that album as inspiring.

Matt Posted 21 May 2006 Posted 21 May 2006 Absolute balls!!!!! Don't bother buying it!!! Is it? or is it a grower? I Never went to Church. Thinking of buying then album today.
Babylon Posted 21 May 2006 Author Posted 21 May 2006 Is it? or is it a grower? I Never went to Church. Thinking of buying then album today. It grows... no where near as good as the others. Only my opinion though... you may love it.
Wils Posted 25 May 2006 Posted 25 May 2006 It grows... no where near as good as the others. Only my opinion though... you may love it. I like it,think its a good album
Bert Posted 26 May 2006 Posted 26 May 2006 Finally got hold of it!! I like all of the songs!! My favourite is "All goes out the window" followed by "Never went to Church"
Alexikokopops Posted 27 May 2006 Posted 27 May 2006 I'd like to see The Streets live, i'd imagine it'd be a good gig, On BBC Interactive "Fit But You Know It" is REALLY good, love it. Saw the Streets live a couple of weeks ago, twere awesome. Especially when they merged Don't Mug Yourself into I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor by the Artic Monkeys. How's about that for a slice of fried gold?

Used to hate The Streets and thought Mike Skinner was a right twat but then I finally gave them a proper listen and I now love The Streets. Don't Mug Yourself/I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor sounds like it'd be an awesome mix! Finally got hold of it!! I like all of the songs!! My favourite is "All goes out the window" followed by "Never went to Church" I Never Went To Church.
Luke_Leicester_Lad Posted 27 May 2006 Posted 27 May 2006 The only song i personally like out of the streets new album is 'Never went to church
The Stig Posted 31 May 2006 Posted 31 May 2006 im a big streets fan but i at first thought the new album was crap, but its growing on me
Matt Posted 6 June 2006 Posted 6 June 2006 Had it about 2 weeks now, not Brilliant but definetly is a grower, Its just starting to grow on me, But when I first bought A Grand Don't Come For Free I thought that was abit shit but it grew on me and now its just amazing! I like; Pranging Out Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living All Goes Out The Window Never Went To Church Hotel Expressionism (Not so much like but quite funny)
