5.0 out of 5 stars Another brilliant LP!, 31 Aug 2005

By	C. E. Shaw "timbof" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

HMHB have been playing some of these songs live for a while now. Everyone is a gem, as you'd expect from the boys from the Wirral. With such underwhelming titles as "Joy Diviison Oven Gloves" you know you're onto a winner. To say that HMHB take the pith out of the rounded orange that it is pop is a truism, but one well worth repeating. Listen, learn and laugh. Sheer indie craft at it's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Achtung Superstar, 7 Jan 2006

By	"levkovski" - See all my reviews

How do Half Man Half Biscuit Always manage to outdo themselves?
I didn't think much could top the brilliance of Cammell Laird Social Club, but I was Pleasingly mistaken.
HMHB have always been one of favourite bands, and I had already heard a few of the tracks from this CD from Peel & Kershaw Sessions, like Joy Division Oven Gloves, Corgi Registered Friends, Mate of the bloke and Asparagus Next Left, but the tracks that were new to me, such as the sheer genius of 'We Built this village on a trad. arr. tune', 'S*** arm, Bad tattoo' and 'Restless Legs,' were incredible to hear for the first time, and timeless ones like 'For What is Chatteris..?' and 'Deppressed beyond tablets' make you feel as if you could never tire of HMHB, and you won't.

My advice is, if you see this in a shop and you don't own it, Buy it. If you do, Buy it as a present for a friend.

I give this: 100/100

5.0 out of 5 stars The best yet?, 25 Feb 2006

By	"theworldismyaftermath" - See all my reviews

To steal lyrics off the last album, this album is definitely more "song based". Although I've loved every HMHB release so far, they have had of late a lot of non-musical tracks. I find these very funny, but I do, in time, find myself skipping them. Not so with Achtung Bono. From start to end, this album is packed with catchy tunes and great lyrics. The more you listen, the more you discover - the great thing about HMHB is that every line means something, it's just that it might not mean anything to you until several years later! What Is Chatteris... is probably one of the best songs they've ever written, a sort of typical HMHB sad yet funny dejection ballad.

If you're not already an HMHB fan, this album is a good intro. It did take eight weeks to deliver, but since all the local shops had either sold out or had their copies nicked, I didn't have a lot of choice. It was worth the wait.

From start to finish this is the definitive HMHB album. There's no fillers here. Nigel is at his savage and witty best and is improving with age. Read more

One to two weeks? Given that Amazon's delivery estimates are optimistic at best, I'd be a little put off from ordering this from them. Read more
