'The World Is Yours' is a reminder of why it's great to have Ian Brown around. He's a rare star, encapsulating unflinching individualism, fearless issue-tackling and an obsession with musical youth that never feels like your uncle dancing to 'Brianstorm'. He hasn't always got the tunes, but this effort shows off more than enough ideas to keep King Monkey swinging for a good while yet. (NME)
