5.0 out of 5 stars this CD is the cuddly side of revoloution, June 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Anarchy (Audio CD)

This was the first Chumbawamba release I ever bought, and it was a lovely one to start with! I reccommend this CD to punk rockers for quiet evenings; re-read the Haymarket Tradgedy and put track 1-Give the Anarchist a Cigarette-on repeat. This CD is so valuable because most punk, and political music in general, is focused on one aspect of activism: the exultation of the fight. "Anarchy" records the quieter moments: the ache of being too late, the euphoria of finding yourself in a movement, compassion and humor and triviality that are less dramatic but more true. The last track, "rage", is a beautiful snip of Thomas' poem (Do not go Gentle) transformed into a tiny cry for AIDS victems. It has its moments of ruthlessness too, though!-I have dedicated #11 "Mouthful of Shit" to ALL of my ex-boyfriends. Oh, buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful meolodies meet candid political/social statement, February 23, 1999

WOW!!! Having loved Tubhumper, I bought this album and Uneasy Listening. Both are sensational! Timebomb is so beautiful to the ears yet matches the toughest political statement ever made by Midnight Oil. Homophobia should be required listening in every high school. Chumbawamba combines the musical genius of Danny Elfman with social commentary as radical as that originally preached by Jesus of Nazareth. The most thought-provoking pop music ever written, but presented in such a delightfully pleasant way that you don't notice at first the significance of what is being sung.

the Anarchy sessions from Chumbawamba is loaded with an album full of shouting danceable tracks that always leave you wanting to dance more...and they do! each song carries a strong lyrical ballad and the in-between loops are exciting and never dull, you'll never get tired of listening to Anarchy. this album is highly recommended.
