Description
By the time of 1995s Some Call It Godcore their third album since re-forming in 1990 Half Man Half Biscuit had settled into a most productive groove. Every couple of years a new album appeared filled with a fresh batch of bitingly funny lyrics and increasingly folky tunes by leader Nigel Blackwell. This one kicks off with a one-two punch of Blackwells patented character studies of the cluelessly naff Sensitive Outsider (pretentious guy who hangs out at Lilith Fair-type folk singer gigs) while interpolating the theme from Bonanza and Fretwork Homework (schoolboy battle of the bands featuring a dead-on lift of the riff from ACDCs Whole Lotta Rosie and the classic closing chant The chords are augmentedThe amplifiers rented). Later (Seen by My Mates Coming out of A) Styx Gig sort of continues the theme but with considerably more empathy for its hapless narrator and though the spoken word (with a single acoustic guitar playing one chord endlessly behind) closer Tour Jacket with Detachable Sleeves has quite a bit of fun tweaking the ritual of the teenage couple at their first concert its quite likely Blackwells gentlest and sweetest character study up to this point. ElsewhereHMHB return to their first love - football specifically their local team the Tranmere Rovers - with Even Men with Steel Hearts and Friday Nights and the Gates Are Low Blackwells most overt sports-themed tunes since 1985s classic All I Want for Christmas Is a Dukla Prague Away Kit.
