Seeing that the fourth Streets album is called everything is borrowed, and remembering the world-weary mood of its brutally honest predecessor, The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living, the wary listener could be forgiven for expecting a cynical expose of the second-hand nature of 21st century experience. The album 'everything is borrowed' finds Skinner applying his homespun hip-hop sensibility to real instruments, rock history and theological inconsistency, he comes up with sing-a-long musings on such unconventional subjects as religion ("Alleged Legends"), evolution ("The Way of the Dodo"), biological destiny ("On the Edge of a Cliff"), and male friendship ("The Sherry End"). Blending rap's capacity for cinematic story-telling with irresistible pop hooks, Mike Skinner has made a record to console the lonely and bring a smile to the saddest visage.
