Taking their name from New Order's 'Blue Monday' (actually poking fun at that song), the Happy Mondays literally invented Madchester before the Roses, Oasis or anyone else appeared on the scene. Reading about the Monday's little adventures on holiday or on tour is always a delight - a rock and roll band that actually railed against normal rock music.
This album is packed with huge drums, reverb soaked guitars and funky basslines that are guaranteed to light up the day. If that wasn't enough, Shaun ("the Poet") Ryder's lyrics are hilarious, delivered in a kind of sneer not seen since Johnny Rotten hung up his safety pins.
And how can you beat songs like 'Performance', 'Brain Dead' and (especially) 'Wrote for Luck'? Well...you could go and release something like 'Pills 'n Thrills 'n Bellyaches' I suppose...thats how great the Mondays were. If you want three classic albums, pick up this, 'Pills 'n Thrills' and Black Grape's 'It's Great When You're Straight, Yeah!' - proof that Ryder & co should be viewed as the saviors of music that they rightfully were.
...Well, maybe not Bez...

The Mondays' second LP is memorable as it sees the return of Martin Hannett to the Factory fold on production duties. Hannett had previously produced the two Joy Division albums with devestating effects. He conjures up mixed results here, while The Mondays may have progressed significantly since their debut the sound here is strangely claustrophobic and murky.
As for the songs Country Song, Moving in With and Lazyitis are great efforts while Mad Cyril, Performance, Wrote For Luck and Do It Better are classics. The remaining three Fat Lady Wrestlers, Brain Dead and Bring A Friend are a bit run of the mill but by no means bad. This album swaggers and is so care free it could have only come out on Factory Records.

just spent 1/2hour trying to describe life in Manchester in 80's and 90's with this album at the centre of everything - but can't. Just buy it because it is the best they did and in my view one of the best albums of all time if you like your music loose ,funky and above all else totally honest.

This is a great album if not quite up to the masterpiece of Pills n'thrills. Moving In With, Lazyitis and Wrote For Luck are classics -in factWrote For Luck for me is far superior... Read more
