About

The Happy Mondays became the Happy Mondays with this second album. By 1987 the Mondays had discovered their singular inner rhythm and while each song here is distinctive, it's possible to experience the album as one continual, churning groove. The meandering, cacophonous opener, “Country Song” signals the band’s distaste for all convention, while on the other side of the tunnel lies “Lazyitis,” a sweet and dizzy jangler that cribs the melody from “Day Tripper,” and offers a mission statement from Shaun Ryder: “I'm doing time with weirdo kind / Hustlin’ and rustlin’ and watchin’ from behind.”
