Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

As implausible as it seems now, back in 1994, three scruffy heavy-metal fans from Belfast were tipped to take over Nirvana's crown. Therapy? had hit upon a genuinely thrilling mash-up of punk, metal, speed, volume, pop and lyrics of pure Rockney: try "Masturbation saved my life" or "I know how Jeffrey Dahmer feels--lonely, lonely" on your pencil-case and see what Amanda in Personnel says. Troublegum was the band's mighty peak: "Screamager" rolls its sleeves up and gets on with the business of punching you repeatedly in the face with the power of rock; "Stop It You're Killing Me" has a triumvirate of power-chords that could stop Metallica in their steps, and by the time "Unrequited"'s thrown in its arse-kicking jazz time-signature and a minute of pure screaming--you'll be rejecting solids for a week. Class. --Caitlan Moran

5.0 out of 5 stars Metallica must have been spitting bullets........, 22 Jan 2006
By J. Stuart Myles "jacktastic" (Swansea, Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Somewhere roundabout 1994 I walked into HMV with the sole purpose of buying Metallica's Black album. I was pleasantly surprised to see said disc was part of a '2 for £22'offer, so I did the sensible thing and scouted round the store seeking a CD to partner it.

I considered AC/DC and The Who amongst others before spotting Troublegum. I'd heard a couple of singles off the album and thought it was worth a go, after all it was only a booby prize - the Black album was what I was really after.

Got home and played Metallica straight away. Now I'm probably in a minority here, and millions of Metallica fans will think I'm barking mad, but some of those songs just didn't know when to stop. Enter Sandman and Sad But True aside, I found the album ...well, boring.

So with my high expectations comprehensively deflated, I dismissively, if not resentfully, spun Troublegum on the ghettoblaster instead. And that's when my day took a turn for the better.

Without a word of a lie I spent the next three quarters of an hour of my life air guitaring, air drumming, headbanging and making devil's-horn-hand-signals to an imaginary band in my flat.

Forty Five minutes and fourteen songs later, the crushing disappointment of the Black album had been erased and replaced by the redhot glow of smug satisfaction that envelops you when you discover something fantastic of which your mates know absolutely nothing.

Three Irish lads venting their anti-catholic wrath, purging themselves of failed attempts with women or just self-loathing for not having the guts to ask them out in the first place. Every line of every song is a vitriolic stab into the heart of each song's victim.

Andy Cairns growls his way through this CD with remarkable and beautiful melodies delivered with a velvet sledgehammer. This record crosses through pop, punk, heavy metal and back again effortlessly. The production is faultless and each bandmember's performance is immaculate. There isn't a single filler track on this album, the 'worst' song weighs in at nine-out-of-ten.

My writing can't fully describe the glory of Troublegum. This record silences Metallica's finest hour. Maybe that's the greatest tribute i can give to Troublegum, and Metallica must have been spitting bullets when they heard it.

5.0 out of 5 stars TRIGGER INSIDE, 26 Jan 2007
By Mr. D. J. Evans (BILLINGSHURST) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are looking for an instantly likeable easy to get into record that rocks like a bastard then this is the record for you. The tracks on this record have not aged. Therapy released this at the height of their career when they could do no wrong, it is a classic and their best record by far. All the tracks are standout, Trigger inside, Screamager, Die laughing and Stop it your killing me are just superb, the rest are pretty damn good too. This record is perfect for the gym, download it onto your i pod and you see if you dont get a personal best. Stunning rock music how it should be played
