This album was , is and will always be an under unappreciated masterpiece , it has bitter sweet memories for me , it reminds me of my eldest son who sadly is no longer with us , his life at the time this album came out was mirrored by this album , the story , the concept , the ups and downs of life for a young man , we used to listen to it together , we would laugh , joke , take stock and give each other a knowing look , I wanted him to stop fucking about and get on track , he didn't want to grow up and just fuck about , his light is always going to be blinding to me , bittersweet memories ...

Likes aren't as important as views. 15 million is a lot of views for a UK group. This song was popular in the UK. This song was more appealing to UK audiences as he uses his accent in his music. So they were popular in their own country. You shouldn't worry about likes because most people don't rate videos after watching. It has 107k likes as of now but they mean nothing to you. It only matters for the channel. I disagree with calling this song underrated as that word is often misused. This song was played everywhere when it came out. That's not what you call underrated. I know songs that don't even get 1 million views on KZbin. So it's not unpopular.

Glad I never got into it, it was huge in my area in the states back in the 00s, “dirt cheap, plentiful, and high quality” according to everyone I knew. Now that I’m getting older I’m so glad I was straight edge and didn’t touch any substances, as you get older it’s terrifying to see people you know whom didn’t stop or couldn’t stop with the dope and drink…..those that are still alive anyways.

[@iceywyd5763]

Hurts listening to this song brings back so many happy memories that il never have again 😪

[@ausyd8577]

If you weren’t poppin pingaz back then this track won’t mean as much as it does to us… great memories

[@ST-on3om]

First heard this when it came out all them years ago and it still hits me the same way it did back then!! An absolutely fantastic tune and all time classic 🙌🏻

[@technophobetortoise9646]

This song makes me feel uneasy. Like I've done something I shouldn't and can't get out of it. Just have to push through. I've never done ecstacy or gone to anywhere like what they describe but the lyrics are amazing

[@PeterCamberwick]

Yeah, that's exactly what it can feel like sometimes, especially if you get tired of waiting for the first one to kick in, then you take another one, and then suddenly, you're absolutely mashed, but you can't go back. LOL

[@johnrussell7984]

We need more new The Streets songs like this ... They got some tunes man ♥️

[@ECCENTRICERIC69]

Have you heard any of Ren's stuff? He is an indépendant artist and a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend "Heretic", "Everybody Drops", "Life is funny" and "Love Music 3 but you can't go wrong with any of his solo stuff or collaborations including his band "The Big Push"!

[@stephenoldham9586]

If you haven't had one before. This is as close as it feels. This vibe plus constant joy.

[@tuxedocat3020]

Used to listen to this album on repeat when it came out. This was my favourite back when I used to smoke weed as a teenager, the beat sounds even better when high and his description of waiting to come up off E's and taking more cos you think they arent working is spot on. The good days, when you could smoke in the pub and there was a good atmosphere. Today's music will never measure up.

Same i lost two friends to daftness spooned sniff one and chocked on his own tonge ouher.... i gt a g with the first so my fault, i live with that every day. its not a meme or joke

Back when you could still hear real music on the charts..

[@MarkFalconer-sy7qe]

I spent many years in London before migrating to Australia, popping pills in bars and clubs, this tune takes me right back to the good old days. Great tune.

[@BuffaloSouljaa]

Original pirate material and a grand don't come for free have been on my hip since they were released. A total masterpiece from start to finish.

Glasgow rapper Sherlock just brought a tune out called Back Out that samples this really well.

This video is a movie. Been listening since I was about 15. 28 now. Timeless tune.

Before anyone comments. This tunes like 13 years old. I had it on cd and off limewire good old days mush😂🙏🏼👌🏻

Spot on Paul.

Nah, very much of its time.

No it was not ahead of its time at all as it was very much of its time. I should know ,I was there!

These lyrics are too true for so many people. Absolute quality

[@GMACK83]

Still a banger. No other song encapsulates the rave culture better lyrically. So relatable.

[@leecook6267]

One of the best tunes ever made. He captures the whole experience of a night out in the U.K.

[@ambercoll10]

brilliant tune, every time I find it again I can’t stop listening. reminds me of all my ‘good times’. Which I’m still in. It gets me all excited for my next raves/festivals, love it.

A british masterpiece of an album. Will never get old. Love showing the young uns this album it blows everyone's mind the first run through.

[@jaredbooom6558]

This is a perfect description of a night out in the mid to late 2000s.

The streets got the beat absolutely spot on to what you hear when you’re coming up, this song always make me smile and reminisce, every word of it’s so true, it’s all MDMA now but you can’t beat a Mitsubishi turbo back in the day.😂😂standing at the bar then all of a sudden rushing and feeling it all coming up. Blindin, blinded by the lights.🫠
