Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches
Happy Mondays

Unfortunately, this feels like it’s right in between two genres that I don’t really enjoy. I feel the 90s Manchester punk rock club scene creeping in, which to me just feels dirty and sticky and it’s something that I can’t identify with. I also feel the distant drum machines of the late 80s new wave, and I just don’t enjoy it. It just feels grimy to me, like a hangover where I wake up with a bad taste in my mouth. Numbly violent. And I feel like the people that it bred are people that I don’t actually connect with very much. So, I feel bad to hate an album that I’m sure means a lot to a lot of people. I mean, it certainly made me feel something. Just not the feeling I ever really want to have.
