This brings me back almost 20 years ago when my music collection consisted of casseses that were copies from copies from copies... Now I can finally enjoy it the way it deserves :) BTW the album is great...
Dark and twisted punk with a pop edge, 'Troublegum' is Therapy?'s masterpiece. Following on from indie label mini-albums 'Babyteeth' and 'Pleasure Death' and inconsistent major label debut 'Nurse', 'Troublegum' shot Northern Ireland's Therapy? into the consciousness of rock fans across the British Isles. In short, almost every song on 'Troublegum' is a classic. With sheet metal riffs and Andy Cairns' punch-drunk humour combining on a succession of dark though deceptively poppy tunes, this album is head and shoulders above 99% of mid-90s Brit-rock material. 'Knives' sets the record off on a suitably manic note, followed by hit single 'Screamager', the ultimate musical expression of unrequited teenage infatuation. 'Nowehere' and 'Die Laughing', other surprise chart-botherers, bring Cairns' darkly comic lyrics to the fore, while 'Unbeliever' is slower yet utterly compelling. 'Trigger Inside' is furious yet catchy, 'Turn' is a hotbed of simmering, dangerous anger and 'Femtex' is a riff-fest of the highest calibre. Even more impressive, the cover of Joy Division classic 'Isolation' manages to transform the minimalist genius of the original into a spiky, menacing slab of dynamic metal with such success they make the track their own. To cap it all, the album is rounded off with a stuck, crackling recording of 'You Are My Sunshine'. Priceless.Read full review
Top quality album, I bought this on ebay as I haven't heard these tunes in years, I would recommend this to any Rock/metal fan. :)
One of the best albums of the 90's and argubaly pone of the best albums from an irish band ever. Stand out tracks include screamager, trigger inside and hellbelly. A must for any rock fan!
