Advantages: Great mix of tunes. Well Produced

Disadvantages: Shaun Rider??

Just looking at the cover shows you that this album is mad.
Its and eclectic mix of indie and baggy tunes. Most notably is the great Step On, its one of those tunes that everybody has heard but can never remember what’s its called. My personal favourite is Grandbags Funeral, great lyrics and a good tune behind it too. I've been to see the Happy Mondays when they've supported Oasis but they've never been as good as the album. Maybe it’s the years of drugs, whatever, maybe its Shaun Rider. It’s a great album to put on in the background just to chill to, or even to put it on during a party. All the tracks work well and it well produced from start to finish.

I've also listened to other stuff by Rider and Co. Namely the Black Grape album Its Great When Your Straight (Yeah)!
It never reaches the same power of Pills, but then it’s a different album.

Unfortunately Pills is hard to find nowadays, but if you come across it, it’s well worth the money.
