Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by the Velvet Underground's John Cale, the Happy Mondays' debut captured a rough, funk-infused post-punk sound that laid the direct groundwork for the imminent Madchester explosion. Shaun Ryder鈥檚 bizarre, drug-addled street poetry floats over an infectious mix of dance rhythms and jagged indie rock guitars. It remains a fascinatingly unpolished document of the northern English club culture transitioning into alternative rock.
