The greatest lyricist since Dylan, beats are "slammin".

Half ironic, half melodic, more brilliant than mere contemporary logic can comprehend. Real poetry is music is decaying into one man's generic reckoning of what love is like, Mike Skinner reminds us that a song is more than just a good beat with boring lyrics to listen to in a club. A good song with good lyrics can change your state of mind and make you learn something you never knew before.
Some songs are more deep than others, some are laden with irony, some are just great tunes. It's an modern anthology of rhytmic poetry masquerading as a couple of garage albums, if you want to get smitten with the technical jargon.
Modern lyrical genius

Both of Mike Skinner's first albums for a fiver? Bargain! His first album is raw and shows what he is all about; Don't Mug Yourself, Weak Become Heroes and Push Things Forward being the Highlights.
The second moves it on telling a story form beginning to end about girls, drugs and mobile phones. Blinded By the Lights shows a darker side of a life he once lead. Empty Cans is pure class and shows how Mike Skinner is so versatile to do the same song twice.
If you don't own any Streets material this is a great offer.
