"This is Chumbawambas last "indie" recording before going major with Tubthumper and what a way to end that stage of their careers!! This is a 'split' album, the first half of the cd being calm,melodic and slow-all featuring brilliant vocals from Lou Watts.The song Love Will Knock You Over is aperfect example of Chumbawamba at their best.This is the "Love" part of the album.Then comes "Hate"!Just when youre at your most mesmerized the speakers shake with some of the loudest punk rock I've heard this band produce(and Ive been to more than one of their concerts!)The barrage never stops as Alice Nutter,Danbert Nobacon and Dunstan Bruce each take turns in tackling issues such as the way royalty lives,the British class system and police brutality.Stand out tracks are:Salome, The Good Cop and Ugh Your Ugly Houses. If you want to hear what Chumbawamba sounded like after ANARCHY and before TUBTHUMPER then grab this one,its brilliance at its best."
