I never liked the literal, lairy, sitcom stylings of The Streets' videos, and this one is no different. Where his early music contained many subtle nuances that really set him apart from other writers and rappers of the period, his videos did everything in their power to destroy this (with a sledgehammer where possible). Genuinely a case of his visuals often taking away from the music at hand. However, that Manic Street Preachers video is awful, a weird mix major label clean lines, horrible camera angles and tired appropriations of imagery already made cliché by the likes of The Clash and Public Enemy.

Call me a conscientious abstainer.

Nothing too good right here. I'll come back, but I'll probably abstain.
