The Defamation of Strickland Banks

what a great soul album and quite a revelation indeed.
i'm hooked and have played this album over and over: it's very pure, very soulful, real music.
soul as it was meant to be by its pioneering father ray charles.
as such, this album is kind of a tribute to the real soul music of the ol' days, and it delivers.
what you will know are the songs 'she said' and 'prayin'' but make sure you check out the rest of the album as well.

I admit i have not heard anything of Plan B prior to this album, but going from this album i think the man is simply brilliant.

Every track on this album i would not skip, each song has a different tempo and sound which keeps every song unique and enjoyable enough to hear its whole duration. This man has a great voice, this is an album you can just sit back and simply enjoy!

A great album and a fantastic addition to my eclectic collection.

Great CD, there is not one song I do not like.

Also a very good price for such a masterpiece

In all the 20yrs i have been buying music albums, this one is truely the best ive ever owned,from track 1 to 13 tells the whole story of plan b's fictional character "strickland banks" and leaves you on the edge on the dancefloor wondering whats going to happen next,its the best sound of soul and rap ive ever heard,people who are checking reviews on wether or not to buy this, take it from me PLEASE BUY IT YOU WILL BE VERY IMPRESSED,ive worn 2 copies out already,you will never get tired of listening to this,plan b is a genius!!

This ia a fantastic album it has gr8 songs in it i love it!!!
any fan of plan for you this is a must buy!

This is an absolutely brilliant album! I Love the way that Plan B tells this extraordinary tale of Strickland Banks from track 1 right until track 13. GENIUS. Should definitely win best album this year at the Brits!

This is an amazing album! Ive listened to it so many times and it just doesnt get boring.
The mixture of rap and blues music makes it so much more interesting than other albums around which just churn out the same generic sound on each track.
Everyone should own this alum! its a beauty! :D

This album really impressed me. It's the first album I've bought in ages and I'm glad I got it. I've liked Plan B for a while now, both his old stuff and new, his got a good range of music, and it shows in this album.

It's a very soulful album with some strong lyrics, and he raps well on a lot of the songs too. I love 'Recluse' and a few others are my favs like 'Love Goes Down', 'Traded In My Cigarettes', 'Darkest Place', 'I Know A Song and 'What You Gonna Do'. I think I just named hald the album lol, it just shows the impact it has.

There's a few bonus tracks on there to enjoy as well, and overall it's just a solid entry into the music industry from Plan B. Well done fella, keep it up.

I highly recommend this if you like anything from pop to rap to soul to indie to rnb to hip hop. Plan B has pulled this off well...
