So I've read this is THE Manchester album, the album that apparently captures the essence of the city, which I guess involves taking a lot of ecstasy. I've never been to Manchester, so I can't testify to how well it distills the feeling of the city. But, based on this album, Manchester is okay, I guess?
I don't think I share the same sense of humor as the Happy Mondays. I wasn't exactly looking for Boogie Nights: The Musical. But this is one of those instances where I can see the appeal, even if I realize this wasn't for me. If you grew up in Manchester and enjoyed the rave scene, this album is probably going to hold a special place in your heart.
I have a specific idea of the type of person who says "Happy Monday!" and it is not this band.
RATING: 3/5
