4th studio album by The Streets follows 2½ years after The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living (Apr. 2006). The album comes very close to the 2006 album, although, this appears lyrically brighter, more positive, and imho a bit better, as it contains at least two great tracks (the first and the end track), though, other tracks mostly leaves me indifferent.
