Brilliant!
Olukayode Balogun | Leeds, England | 07/27/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Not only is this young Brit brilliant lyrically (he obviously gets inspiration from Eminem), he is brilliant musically as well. This is a seamless album that mixes and matches his energetic and imaginative verses with cool rock, solid hip hop beats, acoustic guitar and catchy vocal hooks. His subject range from the urban predictable - drugs, sex, lousy dads & gun crime - to the totally unexpected - `honour' killings, lousy step-dads & bereavement - with practically everything else in between.



I'd seen him perform live prior to this album coming out so I already knew the dude had skills but even so, this album blew me away. It's strong worded stuff as one would expect, but he delivers with a charisma and sense of humour that is infectious, even when he's being dead serious. If he doesn't get recognition and critical acclaim if not commercial success, there is no justice. Fans of alternative hip hop should definitely give him a try. He's worth it.

Brilliant new sound out of the UK
M. Myers | Philadelphia, United States | 08/15/2006

"Plan B has crafted a phenomenal CD with the same lyrical fury as Eminem on the Marshall Mathers CD, sans the comedic relief. There's no "club banger" or "Top 40" radio single on this disc to disrupt the flow. Almost every single track on this CD speaks of tragedy and life in the underbelly of England but instead of bragging about his struggle in the "hood" he creates vivid stories over acoustic guitars with beautifully sung choruses...The kid's got a great voice on top of his rhyming ability. Do yourself a favor and pick this gem up"
Good from across the pond

"I first heard one of Plan B's tracks on a compilation of UK Hip-Hop. I instantly had to find the album. It's a great mix of the grime sound along with incredibly deft wordplay that rivals any of the stateside MC's with similar skills. But, what sets him apart from other artists is his use of an acoustic guitar to help him tell the stories he likes to spin. I recommend this for fans of hip-hop who are feeling as though they are getting bored and for fans of the grime sound."
