Lily Allen's previous CD (Alright, Still) was an ultra trendy ska affair. But with her new release she goes for the mainstream pop route. But she doesn't take away her artistic ability along the way. Which is a real talent for someone only 23. This album has only two mediocore tracks. Which is pretty good considering the genre she's dipping into, pop.
The best spots of the album come from Allen dumping on ex's which she does with expertly. The highlight of the album is "Not Fair" where she trash talks about an ex's ability in bed. It even incorporates Bluegrass for a cherry on top.
The worst part of the album is the last two tracks. Where it gets a little too boring. "Him" talks about God and if you think he cares about small things. It has a good melody and good intentions but it just rings false. The last track is just bad.
This album just puts Lily Allen on the map as not just another one album hit. This album has very good tracks which should live on for a long time. Can't wait for what's coming next from her.
Rating: 88/100 (Best Tracks: Not Fair, F**k You, I Could Say and Who'd Have Known)
