Furthering the oh-so-British pattern of coupling vitriolic or irreverent lyrics with blithe pop music, Alright, Still epitomises the apathetic buoyancy of youth, however paradoxical. The record is hardly a triumphant display of musical prowess, but with its cheeky nature and carefree effervescence it doesn't need to be. "Smile" is a sendoff fit to rival "You Oughta Know"; "The Littlest Things" harkens back to the heydays of morose British pop done right. Other highlights include "LDN" and "Everything's Just Wonderful". A perfect summer record due for American release in the most dreary of seasons, if nothing else it should brighten up some days.

It's typical for any music that comes from the internet and breaks the mainstream to be described as 'a breath of fresh air', be it Arctic Monkeys or *gags* Sandi Thom. In this case, it was justified. Alright, Still is an album as bright and alive as anything released this decade. Over music that blends pop and reggae without sucking (and that in itself is an achievement), Allen tells stories of prostitutes, stoned little brothers, debt collectors, break-ups, and endless nights out. In other words, it's a typical British pop album, but it feels fresh all the same. It helps that the first 5 tracks here are simply astounding. Hilarious, fun, whipsmart, witty, sunny pop songs, one and all. "Not Big" is, frankly, one of the funniest songs I've ever heard. Yet, from there, the album doesn't live up to its early promise. "Friday Night" doesn't display the wit of the opening 5, "Littlest Things", though a good single, is slightly too dreary in this company, and "Take What You Take" is nice, but it fails to be memorable in any way. That isn't to say these are bad songs, or that it's a bad album; it's very good. It's just that it's not the best pop album of the 21st century, which you can't help but feel it could have been.

Lily Allen's debut album Alright, Still doesn't necessarily leave much to be desired. At its core, this full-length recording is outsider-like pop music with ska and reggae elements not too far from the overall sugary, but somehow darkly eccentric atmosphere Lily has going for her. An offering like this, whilst not as distinctive or impervious as us stupid little twats are led to believe, is still very solid and a fortunately well-rounded puppy.

I think this is an excellent album in all aspects. Its a great refresher from what has been comming out recently and plus is sounds great. Its very fun to listen too and just flows well. Definitly worth the money.
