Overview Edit

Panic Prevention is the Mercury Prize nominated debut album by Wimbledon-born singer-songwriter Jamie T, released in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2007. The album is so-called because of the panic attacks Jamie suffered as an adolescent. Most of the songs on the album deal with aspects of modern 'youth' culture in the UK (for example binge drinking), and as such has been strongly compared to the works of The Streets, Lily Allen and The Libertines. Three singles have been released from the album prior to its release: "Sheila", "If You Got The Money" and most recently "Calm Down Dearest". As of December 2007, the album has sold over 159,400 copies in the UK. It also came 100th in a list of Top 100 Albums of 2007 in the UK.

5 stars Asymmetrical Music
After decades of hearing about the newest British band to have the type of talent and staying power of the Beatles (Yeah, right.), I've learned to ignore the hype. And anyway, do we want such a thing?

Jamie T is not John L he's Jamie T, and there's no reason to hype him as anything else. In the age of downloading only the best songs rather than spending money on plastic, packaging and pulp, Jamie T's debut CD rocks from beginning to end making it an exception to the new economy. It's a lifetime…

2 stars Nothing exceptional
I bought this CD because I'd heard "Sheila" on XM radio's Upop station. I love that song, and still do, but the rest of this CD certainly did not impress me much.

It's a lot of yelling, none of it reminded me of that great single, and the music was no where near wonderful. If you like music that makes you feel tense and angry after hearing it then go ahead and buy this. Otherwise, download the single and forget about these guys.
