Cover pic.

Skunk Anansie's debut album ran contrary to the grain. While everyone around them was celebrating the resolutely white-boy, hedonistic, traditional 1960s-based sounds of Britpop, these four Londoners released a multi-racial, politically-charged album that owed as much to the funk visions of Sly & The Family Stone and Living Colour as it did to the metal mightiness of prime Black Sabbath. On songs such as "Intellectualise My Blackness" and "100 Ways To Be A Good Girl", vocalist Skin directly confronted people's prejudices and threw them straight back in their faces. Elsewhere, tracks like "Selling Jesus" and "I Can Dream" showcase her voice pretty much at the height of its power... indeed, this whole album captures the band in top form, with hardly a weak track present.
This album should be an integral part of any metal music fans collection. Tracks such as 'Weak' and 'Charity' can be considered two of the best tracks the band ever produced, whilst most other songs on the album follow not far behind. Skin's talent as a vocalist combines with the genius of Ace on the lead guitar, to make this album truely a classic of the 1990s.
