I was a bit disappointed by that album at first...but it really, REALLY grew on me. I think I just had to be in the right mood to give it an uniterrupted listen all the way through to really appreciate it. It's one of my favorites, definitely.

Mike Skinner's rapping really annoys me...it's the combination of his accent (

southerners! Ya come here with ya weekend homes, pushing up property prices so locals gotta move outta the county

I'm only kidding) and the way it sounds so stunted (wrong word but you know how he goes: "You're Fit. But. Oh. My. Gosh. Don't you. Know. It."). But 'Dry Your Eyes Mate' is a lovely song (but, 'cos of what I said above, it does start to get on my nerves after a while).

But Eminem's 'Stan' and Tupac's 'Ghetto Gospel'

Seems if a rap song has singing in it, I'll like it a whole lot more.

I despise them

In fact if Mike was here now i think i could punch him

He spent his whole set at Oxegen (big Irish music festival) taunting the pit crowd and in general trying to piss off the Irish...ie. 'Goodnight Wembley', 'Hello Manchester'...'Your all wankers'....even though i think he was pissed out of his head, i would still like to hurt him

The first album is great. I love 'turn the page'.

'weak become heroes' is superb as well

I love both albums, but I have to be in the right mood to listen to "A Grand..." all the way through... it's a bit depressing, actually. I especially love "Dry Your Eyes"
