None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive
by The Streets

Some good tracks, my favorite is I Know Something You Did.

The first The Streets album in almost a decade does prove that Mike Skinner can still make a decent enough album, even if it far away from quality found in The Streets first few albums. Upon its release, the album had its marteking heavily based around the highly talented features which are to be found on almost every track of the album. Whilst it is admirable to see such a collection of great upcoming and respected artists among one album, some of these features, namely Tame Impala and Idles, do not seem to fit the music Skinner is aiming for on this album and therefore these such features come across as artists that Skinner simply admires and wants to work with instead of being artists that fit a particular song Skinner is going for. As a result some songs, especially earlier in the album, fall flat and feel shoehorned in.
It is largely the features of the 'lesser known' artists that bring out the best songs in the album, and these being found in the second half of the album means the albums second half is a much nicer listen than the first. Even when critiquing some of the features, at the end of the day it's a The Streets album and really shouldn't be taken all that seriously. And as usual on Skinners work the production qualities are the highlight, making some songs filled with Skinners autotune very enoyable in a jokey way.
Overall it's a decent listen if slightly dissappointing due to the quality of artists featured (6.8/10)
