5.0 out of 5 stars If you're gonna buy one HMHB LP...., 6 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: This Leaden Pall [VINYL] (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars HMHB's crowning glory, 4 Jan 2005
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspired, 29 Aug 2003
By ds (Whitby, UK) - See all my reviews
  
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"...
