Perfection
Although "Not Fair" is super innapropriate, the other songs are great. She really talks about what is happening truthfully, and not singing about tons of relationships and stuff. "22" is about how society glorifies women in their early 20s (Paris Hilton), and "F You" may be a little overdone with the F-bomb, but she is hating on people who hate on others for their sexual orientation or race, so she is telling them off in a good way. "Everyone's at It" says that we can't stop the flow of drugs unless people admit they are on them. Sex is overly sung about on "Not Fair" and "F You" is explicit in terms of language, but Lily is one of the few singers who sings about things in the world and really is fantastic!

Lily Allen brings back her talent again
After the hit album "Alright, Still" her new album has a much more fresh taste. It is more mature in not just topics but in vulgarity. Lily Allen is still the bad mouth that made her stand out. The album definitely has some stand out tracks such as "F*** you" and "The fear". I would highly recommend this album if you like Lily Allen's previous work or if you are in the mood for a good album. While the album has explicit content you can purchase it clean. How bad is the content? Mrs. Allen drops the f bomb a total of 14 times (12 were uttered in F*** you), 1 scatological term and 1 mild obscenity. In the song "Not fair" she makes 7 sexual references. For sexual content, Not fair talks about the shame of not having an affair. For violence Allen makes about 2 violent references in The Fear.

Clean Versions are Fine For 13+
I am 13 and I listen to Lily Allen songs but the only way my mom lets me listen is if they are the Clean version. I agree with Common Sense, 16+ if they listen to the explicit version but most songs like Littlest Things (which is perfectly clean), Smile, and The Fear are fine. I find Alfie very catchy but it mentions drugs and smoking a lot so that one is a bit iffy. But otherwise, if you listen to the clean versions of her songs it's fine for 13+!!

A clever and witty album.
I love this album, she is quite an interesting song writer. She forms a glamour and then shatters it in her music, it usually starts off light and almost calm and then it shatters and goes deep down to the bone.

Great album if you're mature enough for it.
This album is awesome! It has great messages about dissing racists and drugs and Allen's a good role model. The only thing, though, is that she loves cussing, particularly the words f--k and sh-t (f--k siad for dramatic effect many times on the song "F--k You") and theres some strong sexual content on Not Fair ("You never made me come", "I spent ages giving head"). That's why I highly reccomend the clean version so that everyone can listen to this great album!

Fantastic album, better then the first. Obviously, language is an issue (eg. F--K YOU) and the content is also inappropriate, but she harnesses this to create a catchy tune that has you singing along to her outrageous lyrics. What drives me insane is where music stations change the lyrics to censor out the swear words (eg. F--K YOU). The whole song is inappropriate, so why bother?!

Most amazing album this year!
Amazing album that is ruined by Lily's constant swearing. I love the song f--- you but it's not really acceptable to say it 27 times. I think her songs are amazing but the languge is sometimes too much

Really not appropriate
Okay, so I actually haven't listened to this cd, but I am basing my review on the one from Pluggedinonline*. (Thanks guys!) Honestly, I don't think hearing the f-word repeated obsessively is really appropriate for anyone! The fame is a good song, though it can be taken out of context and be considered bad too!
