Outside of England, it’s hard to see how anyone can really ‘get’ Lily Allen and her ways. A tabloid darling with her wild excesses, the chav-pop mad mouth is finally back with her follow up to Alright, Still. Lauded by the critics for her debut offering it was always going to be a difficult second album. The bad news is, overall it may not be as good as her debut; the good news however, is it surpasses the first album in a number of places. If you get behind the high production there is truly a good album here. The sarcasm is evident on The Fear her brutally honest love confessions and antics on Who’d Have Known and Not Fair. Even her everyday commentaries seem to be quite exciting at times, such as Chinese. This is a pretty good, and somewhat surprising, second album from Lily Allen.
