Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Laughter [Deluxe Edition]



by Stephen Thomas Erlewine,All Music Guide



Working with lead guitarist Wilko Johnson (Dr. Feelgood), Ian Dury gradually moves

away from disco with his third album, Laughter. The steady dance pulse is still

apparent, but it's balanced by rockers and pub singalongs that give the album more

depth. That doesn't necessarily make it a better album, however. Dury's humor is at its

most basic, as the titles of "Uncoolohol," "(Take Your Elbow out of the Soup) You're

Sitting on the Chicken," "Oh Mr. Peanut," and "Fucking Ada" indicate, and his lyrics

aren't quite as stunningly fluid as before. Still, the record is fun, and "Superman's Big

Sister," "Yes & No (Paula)," and "Over the Points" are pretty infectious, but the

record can't help but illustrate that Dury's peak period is over. [JVC Japan's 2008
