Format:Vinyl
From the opening rumble of 'M6-ster' through to the closing, ethereal 'Footprints', the most complete Half Man Half Biscuit album brings us an hour of great tunes and the usual sharp yet simple observations. The nimble-witted Nigel Blackwell thankfully has the ability to write amusing lyrics with intelligence, thus avoiding the cringe-factor, and manages to fall short of the 'smart-arse' tag. This is because listeners can remember "The 5 o'clock tea-time smell of the estate" and have "looked surprised like the front of an Anglia" and we all know "people who can't spell weird right, driving round with thousands in the bank". Sometimes HMHB songs appear to be little more than a vehicle for Blackwell's writing. With This Leaden Pall you get the best of both worlds - it's kind of Nick Drake meets Charlie Drake. 'Floreat Inertia', for me, is the best track on this, the best HMHB LP. Even the sleeve has won acclaim, featuring in Q mag's top 100 record sleeves for its 'tyre around lamppost' photo. Sooner or later it should start appearing in 'top 100 albums of all time'. You know, the ones that ALWAYS include Swordfishtrombones, Trout Mask Replica, Closer and London Calling.

Outstanding tunes and humor throughout. In my view their best CD. I have all the CDs and listen to this most. A good place to start if you are unfamiliar with the band.

After what had gone before, in some places "This Leaden Pall" sounds a far darker and mordant affair.
On the other hand, those more familiar with the silier side of the lads will enjoy the quality of tracks like "4AD3DCD", the marvellous "Running Order Squabble Fest" (which anyone who's ever been in a band will understand immediately) and "Improv Workshop Mimeshow Gobshite", which manages to pour scorn on luvvies the world over. They manage to follow that with the frankly strange but great "13 Eurogoths..."
And then of course, there's the last song, "Footprints"...

Good title
I'm always surprised this album is not as highly rated as many of the other HMHB albums - I personally think it's cracking.

Spot On
Just right in so many ways.
However, I would like a lyrics sheet included so I can sing along a little more easily whilst I'm driving. Read more

Utterly Brilliant
I came to this album late, after hearing Cammell Laird Social Club, Four Lads Who Shook The Wirral, Some Call It Godcore etc. Read more

Best Kept Secret
Don't be fooled by the monochrome cover which has the 'most boring postcard in the world ever' look about it. Perhaps an ironic ploy to shake off the casual fan. Read more
