5.0 out of 5 stars TUFF!, April 10, 2001

The title speaks for itself. Yes Humble Pie were street rats. The music on this album is tuff stuff. A little bit o blues, soul, r&r, and a lot of balls. I can see why I had to wait so long for this. I wore out my vinal version. Losing Steve was a tragidy not only to we PIE HEADS, but to the music buiz as a whole. Steves voice is what every vocalist dreams of. There ain't nuttin he couldn't do, and to perfection. wanna hear what I mean. BUY IT!

I dont know why these mean spirited people put this album down. This tasty disc fits right in the stack of all your pie. If you love to feast on Rock On, Live at the Fillmore and then throw on some Eat It and Smokin', then you got room for a slice of Thunderbox, and a helping of Street Rats.Dont be put off by bad reviews, if you love these guys like a real fan does you wouldn't put any of this stuff down. This is special and historical, Marriott/Clemson/Ridley/Shirley throwing down one more time.If your a Pie man this is the last essential slice....Eat It

Humble Pie put together a string of successively great studio albums, not to mention one of the best 'live' albums of all time. They survived the departure of Peter Frampton by bringing Clem Clemson into to fold and, to be honest, they didn't miss a beat. After years of stellar studio output and blistering live performances, the Pie just sound tired and lazy on their "Street Rats" album. It seems that a long, overdue 'break' or hiatus prior to this effort may have revitalized the band and they could have possibly continued with better quality output. I'm as big of a Humble Pie fan as 'the next pie-head', and I do listen to this album. However, to put Street Rats on par with any of their previous studio outings is a thing I personally cannot do. Yet, I still do recommend this album to those unfamiliar with it; just don't start your Humble Pie collection here. I recommend starting at the beginning with "As Safe As Yesterday Is" and moving chronologically from there. Street Rats may not be the best slice of the pie, but it should not be disregarded as it has great historical value.
