DESCRIPTION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Under the leadership of Shaun Ryder (The Happy Mondays), Black Grape has broken every rule that governs pop music; and, in the process, sold half a million copies of their debut album, It's Great When You're Straight. Yeah. Black Grape's newest release, produced by Danny Saber (U2, Rolling Stones, David Bowie), was set-up with the track "Get Happy," which spent five weeks at #1 on R&R's specialty show chart in Dec./Jan. First single/video: "Marbles (Why You Say Yes. ?)."

AMAZON
The second album by Shaun Ryder's perpetually-addled Madchester veterans does exactly what it say in the title: puerile lyrics and dumb-and-dumber funk rock. Little had changed in the world of the Black Grape, then, since the hilarious It's Great When You're Straight.Yeah! It's just that by 1997, the joke didn't seem as funny anymore. "Marbles" and "Spotlight" are, on the surface, up there with Black Grape's best; rollicking party anthems with hefty, sticky-fingered choruses that cement Ryder's place as the cheeky, lovable rogue. Elsewhere, though, he seems to think he's some sort of Casanova; the chorus of "Squeaky" goes "I wanna get cheeky with ya/ I wanna get squeaky inside ya." It's not very appealing, and after the oft-inspired wordplay of the likes of "Reverend Black Grape" from the Grape's debut, it's exactly what makes Stupid Stupid Stupid a disappointment. --Louis Pattison
