Mike Skinner is af ** king genius, mate.

After "Original Pirate Material" is "Everything Is Borrowed" for me the best and most complete album from The Streets. On its predecessors although there was still some terrific tracks, but also much that I had to skipping.

"Everything Is Borrowed" against an absolutely rounded, no track is out of line as a complete package. Only "Never Give In" is a rather mediocre track.

The mood of the album is rather quiet, dignified and melodious with a few exceptions. Nevertheless, each of the songs has that certain something, a trick which distinguishes it from the rest, something that one gets fond of him. Perhaps one or the other track ripples then, but what is it causes me a storm surge (;

My personal favorite album of The Streets!

PS: The three music videos which previously to the album's (Everything Is Borrowed, The Escapist & I Love You More) are all terrific and should therefore, if not already, be checked at YouTube soon as possible.
