Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). I was just at a frequented used CD store looking through the 50 cent bin because I always find gems in there, and lo and behold, this album was, so I snatched it up. So glad I did. "Paranoid & Sunburnt" still sounds cracklingly vital, loud, soulful & original. I remember seeing the band in that futuristic movie called "End Of Days", and they made an imprint on my brain that never went away.

Skunk Anansie could have Jimi Hendrix, George Bush & the pope as backing musicians and I still do not think it would take the attention away from lead singer Skin (Deborah Dyer). I mean, is there anything more rock than having a 6 foot something black woman with a shaved head screaming at you" More often than not, what is being screamed (or sung) in your direction on the British band's debut release is controversial and/or political. Second single 'I Can Dream' is the clear highlight of the album and the song which sees some people label Skunk Anansie as one hit wonders. Everything comes together brilliantly here as an ominous guitar riff that is ably backed up by a very good rythym section is combined with especially effective vocals where Skin finds just the right balance between aggression and melody. Arguably one of the catchiest (& under-rated) rock songs of the 90's, this involving sing-along gem proves that the band do not have to be so direct and controversial with their lyrics to be noticed
