Following the disastrous implosion of the Happy Mondays, Shaun Ryder rebounded spectacularly with this incredibly energetic, shamelessly hedonistic dance-rock triumph. Featuring prominent rapping from Kermit (formerly of the Ruthless Rap Assassins), the incredibly infectious production perfectly fuses classic 1990s baggy rhythms, heavy funk sampling, and Ryder's brilliantly surreal, drug-addled lyricism. The wildly successful debut unexpectedly proved his continued relevance and resilience during the height of the Britpop era.
