Lily Allen is Awesome

As Carrie has already astutely pointed out, my purchase of Lily Allen's debut album Alright, Still... is one that I could look back upon in as little as 6 months and feel a great deal of embarrassment towards. But as of today, I couldn't give a shit. This album is so crazy awesome and fun to listen to. I've owned it for 24 hours and have listened to it from start to finish 4 times already. The lyrics are funny and clever, the music is this wonderful blend of pop, ska, and hip-hop, forming into this wonderful sound that is as much unique as it is cliché and familiar. The best part about it is that it just sounds honest. As dumb as this sounds, the way she sings these songs you get the genuine feeling that this is the music she wants to make. It's well produced, but not over-produced like the shit that wins grammys and sits at the top of the charts. So until this album joins Blink 182 and The Barenaked Ladies in my personal "what the fuck was I thinking when I bought this" category, I am going to continue to rock out to this british chick SO HARD.
