Four Lads Who Shook the Wirral
Although not having the polish of some of the albums that followed this is still a formidable piece of work.
Containing all the magical ingredients we've come to expect from any HMHB offering, this is jam-packed full of witticisms, belly laughs, nods to other musical influences, cutting insults (Turn a blind eye) and more than a couple political broadsides (Is this new labour Mr Blair? - Old Lady labelled me...etc).
Don't forget their ability to hit a out a good rock tune as well as "Secret Gig" proves and that's leaving aside the singalongs like "Moody Chops" and "Split Single......"
Great stuff.
Crossley, et al, at their very best!
Possibly the best album these 'lads' have ever produced. From the opening clashing guitar of 'Children...' all the way through to the melancholic close of 'Two Chevrons', the production quality may be awful... but it's an awfulness that is perfected. Full of gut-laughs, surrealism, poignancy and obscure references to places only seen by the locals or bands on tour. And you'll be humming the chorus to 'Four Skinny Indie Kids' for weeks, I guarantee it! ;o)
