Recommend a listen? No

I guess you'd say Happy Mondays is an indie dance band. This to me is inoffensive music. I'm not going to be mad if someone put this on, as it likely will just become white noise to me. It just doesn't make me feel anything one way or another. These are the worst albums to albums review, because I really don't have anything positive or negative to say about it. I honestly can't think of a single reason why this album was included. I think about how many other deserving albums were snubbed for this milk toast record and I just shake my head in disappointment. None of these highlights are actually highlights for me, but they're probably the best representation of the album and the band. Besides the cornball lyrics and vocals, I didn't mind the music to "Bob's Yer Uncle." Then "God's Cop" and "Step On" weren't terrible. Not recommended.

Highlights:
Kinky Afro
God's Cop
Loose Fit
Bob's Yer Uncle
Step On
