Chock-a-block with witty, acerbic, touching, scathing, singalong tunes that will enrich your life,

This review is from: 90 Bisodol (Crimond) (Audio CD)
I've been playing this album non-stop for the last four days and conclude that this is yet another excellent release from one of Britain's most underrated bands. Yet more of their insight, wit and imagination. Half Man Half Biscuit say say more about the absurdities, frustrations and mundanities of life in modern Britain than any other band I know.What other songwriter would clarity the correct etiquette for drivers to allow a pedestrian to cross the road? In 'L'Enfer C'Est Les Autre', Nigel Blackwell (Half Man Half Biscuit main man and songwriter) explains that a driver shouldn't use their index finger (drives me mad too). Nope, the driver should make their invitation with an outstretched palm. Final track, "Rock And Roll Is Full Of Bad Wools", is my current favourite. I love it when Nigel Blackwell lets rip about things that vex him. How about this for an opening verse: "He's sitting on a so-called Soccer Sofa, On a Saturday morning, Having the so-called banter with the Preston, Touching base with fellow guest Heston, How cool does he appear? And how cool is his career? He's gonna talk about his songs, And his favourite footie teams, That's England, Chelsea, Acky Stanley, And all the band love watching Barca" All sung in Nigel Blackwell's best sneer. Needless to say things don't quite go to plan for the protagonist as you'll find out if and when you hear the rest of the song. This album is chock-a-block with witty, acerbic, touching, scathing, singalong tunes that will enrich your life. Another Half Man Half Biscuit recording to treasure. Long may they continue to reign over us. Half Man Half Biscuit are national treasures. If you only know Half Man Half Biscuit for their early "hits", then do yourself a favour and get reacquainted. If you don't know them at all, then this is as good a starting point as any.

I bought the Vinyl version (with cd) straight from Probe, and received the album last week.I have raced through the trcks twice and am now taking my time to savour them in more detail. The album echoes a number of the earlier ones, especially 'A country practice' from 4 lads. It also reminds me of Back in the DHSS. This is no bad thing, although there isn't really anything like a duff HMHB album. The production values are supposed to very good. I dont think this matters all that much - if you want clean production above musicality HMHB aren't for you. Highlights? I like RSVP, Joy in Leeuwarden, Fun Day in the Park and Descent of the Stiperstones. All songs are good and sometimes it takes a year or so to get the odd song in its full glory! If you have never listened to HMHB you could do worse than start here. If I were you I would buy all of then NOW. If you can only afford three get this one, Actung Bono and Back in the DHSS. Good times.

A wonderful dark journey for the upset stomach,
This review is from: 90 Bisodol (Crimond) (MP3 Download)
Being a HMHB fan for yours, I couldnt wait for this album and wasnt disappointed, its a fantastic addition to their out put. Loved Fix it, Coroners Footnote, Rock n Roll, and Excavating Rita. Long ago I shared a transit ride with these folks in Northampton, and this album shows that despite the passage of time, nothing has been lost! Keep up the good work folks, you are the only sane muscians left!!!
