Black Grape Stupid, Stupid, Stupid

6 (out of 10) - "...Ryder can't sing, he can't play an instrument, he's fat and ugly, but he can talk for hours about Loch Ness soil samples and how they look like computer disks. A foot soldier in the army of George Clinton and Al Jourgensen, he brings his cockeyed expertise to bear on a funk ensemble that never fails to slobber all over the groove..."
"...All kinds of elements pop up in the mix, including Beatles licks, Kermit's dancehall toasting, flute loops, soulful horn charts, psychedelic guitars and more....This is rock music for your booty..."
Ranked #6 on Melody Maker's list of 1997's "Albums Of The Year."
"...deranged...rollercoasting...fun-packed....it's a warts'n'all look at the realities of shafting..."
"...STUPID is aswim in conflicting, discordant noises...and the tandem rap/toasting of Paul 'Kermit' Leveridge....it does sound like these guys have just tumbled 'whoo-hoo'-ing from the ale-soaked Tappa Kegga Daily house....you can't help but 'whoo-hoo' along..."
Ranked #21 in NME's 1997 Critics' Poll.
