Bought primarily as it was effectively same price as the successful Tubthumping single, the album is actually very good albeit some way short of the heights reached by the Anarchy album that is one of my favourite of all time.

This is pretty much a straight down the middle pop-album; nice melodies,dance beats and choruses that can be sung in the bath. What sets it apart - and can prove frustrating to some - is the lyrical content.
No doubt Chumbawamba see themselves as the last in the line of protest singers such as Woody Guthrie, Dylan, Billy Bragg, the Clash and so on; pointing the light on abuses of power, mis-representation, the shallowness of consumer society and 'down trodden; working man. However their particular lyrical and singing style just comes across as curmudgeonly complaining about "Us & Them" and how they (or everybody) are victims of some particular conspiracy by the establishment....or some other nasty body politic.
If you can stomach the very old fashioned political posturing - more suited to the early 20th C. than the latter- this makes good background music.

This Album was simply Great. Of the 13 songs 12 were excellent. My favourite is Outsider and then comes Drip Drip Drip. This Album is a Must-Have.
