Alright, Still - Lily Allen

My other half told me he wanted this album and when my brother asked what to get him for his birthday this was my suggestion. The reply I got was ' You are joking, whats he want that rubbish for?' I was thinking pretty much the same. How wrong can you be! The first couple of times I heard it, I wasn't really listening. Id heard the singles and thought they were catchy but nothing special. I forgot all about it. A few months later my boyfriend decided to play it a lot in the car, its a grower. I now play it a lot too. ~*~The tracks~*~ The following is my interpretation about the songs, yours might be different. Smile - This was the first ...  Read the complete review

I did not expect to like this album and so borrowed it from a fried and I'm glad I did because overall there was not enough on it to make me want to download the whoel album so instead I went for a few tracks I liked and left the rest well alone. Lilly Allen comes from a show biz family, her Dad is a comic and had a chart hit with an awful England football song. Her style is sort of cockney slang and she uses nice upbeat tunes withrather dark and sometimes sad lyrics. The big hit of this album was Smile which was in the charts loads and talks about her happiness at seeing a former lover breakdown and want her back but my favourite was LDN which has ...  Read the complete review

It would be easy to say that Lily Allen was the first person to become famous through Myspace, that the way she build up an internet following meant that she had a fanbase who could support her once she moved from the world of demos to recording an album. That her wilful personality and sharp-tongued take on modern life is what defines her as a person and makes her so popular. That she is, in fact, a cult of personality which completely overshadows any music she makes. She is Lily Allen, an outspoken critic of modern celebrity culture who hates men and likes writing cheap pop songs where she over-inflates her cockney accent and criticises anyone she doesn't like. ...  Read the complete review

I always thought I hated Lily Allen and to be honest, I don't really know how I came to put this album on my ipod. I had a long trip ahead of me and wanted some new music to listen. Now, I've had Lily on my iTunes for a year or so, and thought that that was the best place for it to stay, happily in my library, out of the my way of my ears, leaving me alone, thank you very much. I was always the first one to protest about how annoying and down right, blummin immature I thought that this girl was, due to the nature of her lyrics along the lines of 'haha I'm better than you, now you're upset and I think it's brilliant' (...ahhh the youth of today). I thought she was a brat, ...  Read the complete review

Lily Allen was one of the acts to make it big last year amidst a great deal of hype and an infectious catchy summer single called Smile. Allright Still was the album release that followed on from this and was one of the presents I bought my daughter for Xmas this year. I have to be honest I did not expect to like this album but actually it was not as bad as I expected it to be however it does have the slight feel of bubblegum pop and I’m fairly confident that after a couple of weeks in the car stereo it will soon find itself in the cabinet at home as although the songs are catchy on the whole they lack substance or any real quality to make them a regular ...  Read the complete review
