All based on pop culture, the monotony of everyday life, TV, childhood memories and keen observations. Although this album is EXTREMELY funny, it's not one of those joke records, where once you've heard the song and got the joke you don't really want to listen to it again. This album is one you will keep going back to (just like I have been doi...more

I was brought up on this album. For a while in the mid-eighties it was all my Dad would listen to and it filtered down to me, and I love it now just as much as he did then. This CD is not only Half Man Half Biscuit's first proper album, but it also includes their debut EP.

Sprawling, moody set Some many consider it too downbeat

Some very strong tracks, catchy and easy to listen to Cheesy lyrics, some songs sound samey


Heavy, fast, loud, good songs Some songs just aren't up to scratch compared to the others

Heavy, fast songs, but also balanced nicely with some slower stuff, but never getting too slow Backing vocals are irritating in places, some songs are too short to do them justice.

Powerful Lyrics, Great riffs, basslines and drums Some themes conveyed in lyrics may not be understood by a younger audience
