I haven't stopped playing this album since I bought it. I absolutely love it. It's extremely funny and I hear something new every time I listen to it. They have the most beautiful welsh accents, which I could just listen to all day. My favourite track is The Maggot, closely followed by Self Suicide, The Manifesto, Half Man Half Machine, Soap Bar and Your Mother's Got A Penis! To answer the late, great Frank Zappa "Does Humor Belong In Music"? YES, it most definitely does.

In regards to Mr digiboomblasta, or whatever sadassed name he came up with: you are a moron. GLC are meant to be funny. No one except hardcore knobends like you take them seriously, I should know, Ive met the blokes.
Oh, and dont call us welshies taffs. Only we can call ourselves that.
Anyways, this "album" is hilarious. Probably only because Im from the 'port and such, but still. it makes me chuckle. PLease buy it and support the greatness.

I thought this album was ra good especially for the chain. I'm english so I probably know them better than you americans. They are a welsh rap group using comedy as a music-maker. This album is a classic, celebrating the greatest hits no-one had heard. `Seperate reviews of tracks:

1. Manifesto-Great start to the hits. Just a short description of who they are but using humour and so forth. 9/10
2. Self Suicide-Definitely one of the best songs on the album. If they release it will make loads. Clever rhymes and shows their best side. 10/10
3. Guns Don't Kill People Rappers Do-Brilliant! This song is how I first heard of them and one of the reasons I bought this. It's so comediac and preaches about how stars have harmed other simply because they are hardcore rappers. Golden magic! 10/10
4. Half Man Half Machine-Good track, but a slight more amount of swearing in than other songs. Chorus is good and again get ready to laugh. 8.5/10
5. Roller Disco-A pretty alright song. A downfall is there isn't really a chorus so it is hard to follow. Still good though and really expresses the Welsh accent. 8/10
6. Soap Bar-Song about smoking soap. Ahem. You decide for yourself. 7/10
7. Billy Webbs Lament-Just a little intrlude or skit. Kinda boring. Not much else. 6.5/10
8. Your mother's got a pe*is-Just great. So glad they released it. Grand and cool. And sooo funny. May offend you tightwads, but get over it! Comedy genius, best song on album by far! 10000/10
9. Maggot-Alright song about one of them. Nothing special. 7.5/10
10. You knows I love you-Great song about love (ha ha) yeah right. Absolutley safe and cool. about 9.5/10
11.Leeroy fasions lament-okay another interlude type-thing. Gets a bit boring. dont like it too much. 5/10
12. 21 Ounces-parody of 21 seconds by So Solid Crew. Chorus of mockery is funny but verses drag on. Not too recommended. 7/10
13. Time to Make a Change- Worst song on the album by far. Really bad finish. Can't believe it. Too boring, bland and not anyones type (sorry to be so mean but IT SUCKS!) like, 2.5/10
Thats a quarter braw!

In conclusion, whole album: 8.5/10. Best song: Your mother's got a pe*is. Worst song: Time to make a change. BUY IT. BUY IT NOW!

Here r my track ratings
1. The Maninfesto- Intro to who they r using comedy. Glyn Williams is a welsh coach company to anyone who wonders what it is when it comes up in the skit! 9/10
2. Self Suicide- Amazingly cool and catchy! the tune sounded familiar to me when I heard it. 9.5/10
3. Guns dont kill people rappers do- 1st GLC track I heard and was 1 which convinced me to buy it but not as good now. I also rapped it for charity! 9/10
4. Half Man Half Machine- Best on album! Funny as hell!!!! Still listen to this at least once a day! 12/10
5. Roller Disco- I like this song because of the beats and it takes in a trip back in time when u listen to it! It has less swear words than the other songs! 9.5/10
6. Soap Bar- Catchy and a bit odd! How can u smoke soap? I like it though. 9/10
7. Billy Webbs Lament- Stupid skit which actually can be listened to along with Your Mothers Got A P**is but I choose not to. 5/10
8. Your Mothers Got A P**is- Catchy funny and rude!!! Dont listen to if easily offended though! 9.5/10
9. The Maggot- Not bad but not great. 1st not amazing song on the album! Think its got good lyrics though. 7.5/10
10. You Knows I Loves You- Amazing RnB song! Funny in some places! GLC give u a trip back to 1987 showing what love was like back then! 10/10
11. Leeroy Fashion Lament- Crappy skit. Worst on album. 3/10
12. 21 ounces- Parody of 21 seconds by So Solid Crew. I like the beats as well! 9/10
13. Time to make a change- Good end but not what I thought. Beats and lyrics r good but not up to the standard of the others. 8.5/10
My verdict is I love this album! BUY NOW!!!!!!!!!!! I'm also from Newport, where GLC r from in Wales!!!!! Just buy! I'm gonna buy their new album as soon as I get the money and when its out! These blokes make me proud to be from Newport!
R.J from Britain

Oh yes.Very funny.These guys have everything going against them,they're welsh,they're white and they're piss takers,but they kick serious arse.

Before you cast them off as a joke,listen to it for a sec.Yes, they are starnge, but listen to the music.Its hilarious,and they spin a good beat too.

A lighthearted change.Recommended.

This CD makes me think maybe I should have gotten all the original CD's instead! Even their crappier stuff must be worth listening to, once you get to know them. As has been noted, this has one of the coolest GLC songs, You Knows I Loves You (Check out the video on YouTube), which Straight Outa Newport lacks. It's worth printing the lyrics off the internet - then look up the various British references.

FUNNY AS F@#K, ALL YOU MUSIC CRITICS STAY AWAY, THIS ALBUM IS FOR PEOPLE WITH A SENSE OF HUMOUR. BY THE WAY SOAP BAR IS MARIJUANA AND IT MAKES YOU F@#KIN CALMA.:-)

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT RAP RHYMED WITH CRAP FOR A REASON, I HEARD THE GLC. IT'S FUNNIER EVERY TIME I PUT IT ON. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. IT'S GREAT FUN AND REMINDS ME OF THE AUDIENCE ALI G. IS SUPPOSED TO APPEAL TO IF HE WERE REAL. CHAVS.

this album is tops...get it - i am an honourary member of the goldie lookin crew...
