.....there you go I thought I'd be controversial. It's such a shame that Tubthumping has made Chumbawamba an anathema. They have so much to offer. This album works on several levels, but even without the political aspect it's a great pop album, the melodies are exquisite at times (at times quite Crosby,Stills and Nash), especially when they are intertwined with old folk song samples (far better employed than Moby did with blues songs for Play). Always the messages on contemporary issues (if only this had been recorded during the firefighter strike) which, even if you don't agree with them, are consistent, something which the media or government have never achieved. How's about releasing the songs that were sampled on one album? This has now overtaken Anarchy as my favourite Chumba album.

One of the most admirable qualities of Chumbawamba is that along with few other brits they tell it like it is. I class them amongst the real 'politicians' and 'class warriors'; As a real yorkshire lass, brought up as a miners daughter who lived amongst the miners in the strike i have an innate anger against authority. Therefore for me, for many years, they have been my heroes, they have understood. This album, more than any of the many albums they have made truly reflects modern working class issues and combines their incredibly clever sampling, writing, angry, demanding, experimenting, developing interest in the cross over world of folk music with dance. To be danced to at a fesival. Miss it and you miss what is going on in your own back yard.

Many people will tend to associate Chumbawamba with their biggest chanting hits- Tubthumping, Your Ugly Houses. There's no chanting here.
What you get is proof that Chumbawamba, as well as being very literate and passionate about their politics, are great songwriters. The blending of samples of traditional folk songs with new melodies is really strong throughout, and certain tracks are really very moving. Quality pop with meaning- fantastic.

The best Chumba CD?
Whether this is the best Chumba collection is a matter for debate, but it must be one of the most unified sonically. Read more

Beyond anarchy...
Aah, Chumbawamba are back. Politically incorrect, frightfully offensive to the establishment and totally in yer face.
I've always liked Chumbawamba. Read more
