Crazy Lady!!!!! - By: Mr. Marc Macinnes, 11 Aug 2008 
Wow................this is one of my favourite albums of all time. I first heard "Jimmy" on the radio & that was the first time i heard the work of M.I.A., me being me i bought the album & im so glad i did. Every song has it's own edge but all are greatin their own way. I bought her first album not long after buying "KALA" & it also is great. Can't wait for her next one!!!
Am I Living On A Different Planet? - By: L. McEvoy, 04 Apr 2008 
I love all kinds of music, from the mainstream to the obscure, from rock thru funk to country. But honestly - this album is pure unadulerated rubbish from start to finish. It's a collection of the same old tuneless synthesized hip-hop bleeps & farts replete with cliched chip on shoulder lyrics & carefully packaged aggression. And of course, what pile of melody deficient crap would be complete without a dropin visit from - you guessed it - Timbaland.
Get over it guys & gals - we know you're cool. You don't need to tell us anymore. We know that you're cooler than any of us will ever be,in fact the rest of us should just all kill ourselves now we're so unworthy to be living on the same planet as you. On behalf of the rest of us, may I sincerely apologize for being born. Happy now?
Quality out weighs the rough edges - By: Captain H, 11 Jan 2008 
MIAin the past has been fairly hyped upin some qurters, but at last she is starting to live up to it. This album is what I hoped her first record would be like but wasn't. Arular seemed to be throwing together 'influences' simply for the sake of it, but Kala's musical journey around the continents is far more interestring & productive. This album is original, catchy & daring enough to be worth attention.
It has to be said that there is the odd track that makes me sympathise with even the most negative reviewers, consistency of output is not MIA's strength, (why did the album have to open with road runner?) but I wouldn't want this to put anyone off.
