Druggy, hazy, and great

"This album reeks of lysergia and E's...it's quite different from its follow-up, Pills n'Thrills n'Bellyaches. This album overall has a more muddy, drugged up feeling which is enhanced by the production. It's all the better for it, and my favorites from this album include Wrote For Luck, Moving In With, and Bring a Friend. If you're into late 1980's baggy British music, check this one out."
This was the better album of the two...

"Not like there is too much commotion over the Mondays stateside, but the reviewer that said "perhaps the best Happy Mondays album" and only gave the record three stars is an idiot. Pills & Thrills is at least four stars in my book (amg gave it five which is a rare thing). Bummed is raw, and less produced - just the way I like my music to sound. More importantly, Ryder sings as if he is mocking himself at times - sometimes he sounds out of tune....it's really all brilliant. The music is what made Madchester what it is. This is a definitive record, one of Factory's best.
