A swirling, neo-psychedelic kaleidoscope of hallucinogenic drugs,trippy beats, borrowed hooks, and veiled threats, Pills 'n' Thrills& Bellyaches is Happy Mondays' masterpiece and the peak of theentire Madchester craze. Where the Stone Roses were pop classicists,Happy Mondays pushed pop into the ecstasy age. The Mondays'cut-and-paste rhythms and melodies are clearly influenced by hip-hopand electronic dance music, and their songs have the same sort oftwisted internal logic, subverting conventional pop song structureswhile reinterpreting oldies, occasionally stealing entire songs andclaiming them as their own John Kongos' "He's Gonna Step On You Again"is transformed into "Step On," LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade" provides thebasis for "Kinky Afro". Most of the musical collage is the creation ofproducers Paul Oakenfold and Steve Osborne, but the vision of Pills 'n'Thrills & Bellyaches belongs to Shaun Ryder, who reveals himself asa surreally gifted lyricist. Lifting melodies at will, Ryder paints abizarre vision of modern urban life, fueled by sex, drugs, violence,and dead-end jobs -- and instead of lamenting the state of affairs, hecelebrates them in his hoarse, arrhythmic, tuneless holler. Histhuggishly surreal sense of humor and appropriation of hooks becameenormously influential on British rock & roll in the '90s,particularly on Oasis' sense of style.
