Coincides with 12 songs and a playing time of 43 minutes scarce "Alive Till I'm Dead" not very lush from, but as you know, the spice lies in the shortness, you can ignore it. The first track "Kids That Love To Dance" provides with its sweeping Groove equal a good mood at the beginning. Who for the first time the voice heard Professor Greens, will immediately notice that the boy sounds very unique, a bit like Eminem on speed, which manifests itself in his brisk flow and the joke in the text well, but in the long term can also be annoying. The hit single "Just Be Good To Green" follows immediately afterwards. Electrical elements with the SOS Band classics "Just Be Good To Me" are skillfully crossed, to harmonize Professor Green and Guest-feature Lily Allen really outstanding, so it's no surprise really that this title was very successful. Sampled what it's worth, was also in "I Need You Tonight", the template is the eponymous hit by INXS. The funky sound of the original was transferred 1: 1, plus an upbeat Beat and Green's loose and ready rape is another really strong song. Unfortunately, so much that the rest of the album nothing comes close to this class. Singer Labrinth, the yes now been with us a little longer of Tinie Tempah's debut and his own single "Let The Sun Shine" is also on "Alive Till I'm Dead" of the party. "Oh My God" is the rocking piece, the uncomfortable and crazy sounds during Green's verses, by the eingesungenen of Labrinth chorus is added an emotional part. Perhaps not quite as easy to digest as the previous songs, but a decent variety.
Dark and powerful, however wummert "Jungle", which gets its charm from the oblique synthesizer sounds paired with the Ryhmes of Professor Green and the guest post by Maverick Sabre. The soulful "Do For You" focuses on softer and pop sounds. As a contrast certainly very useful, but unfortunately it lacks either Power or to correct lard. "Do For You" moves somewhere in the middle, though does nothing wrong, but nothing particularly well, and therefore acts rather unimportant and boring. Who likes to dance, which is set to "Falling Down". The varying in tempo beat goes immediately in the legs, though sounds more dance-pop than for hip-hop, but what the heck - the goal is still achieved. Almost the same can be said about the current single "Monster". Trendy, fast, danceable and well suited to listen casually, if you can focus on Green's voice, there is even a very nice text, but overall lacks the unique, because the current standard in the charts, the title raises not really from , After previously everything was kept quite fast, the final phase of the album is much calmer. Initiated by the unspectacular "Closing The Door" (feat. Fink), finds this part its climax with the smoothen love song "Where Do We Go", in which the professor receives support from the wonderful launched Shereen Shabanaa that when turns out optimal duet partner and the piece with her chorus gives the right flavor. The last song "Goodnight" is only suitable for hard-wearing people. While the relaxed piano instrumental sounds pretty good, but Green's motivated performance and his voice can certainly not always give.
Ordinary debut - at least if you like mainstream hip hop listening and is not necessarily on the English Grime sound, because it is hardly to be felt nothing. Except for 3-4 exceptions will not be much exceptional commanded to "Alive Till I'm Dead" with hit potential, which is probably the weakest point at the same time but you have to hold also that Professor Green makes no major outages and his pop-oriented style moves on the safe side. Who liked his singles and can get used to the unusual voice makes with this album is nothing wrong.
