I've had it at 8 since first hearing it a couple years ago. Oil & Gold fan, here.
 Why the hell is this not available on iTunes or Amazon?

6.7 is the avarage rating for this IIIIIIIIIINCREDIBLE SONG! 

Hear it on a good set of speakers (2500$ upwards) - and you (may) understand better!

Song itself is a very solid 9

To rate this song with 6.6 is an offense of Iraqian-attack quality!

Why America cannot live in peace with the world - and me?!

This song is a 9-10 - nothing else.

"Jump from a bridge" - if you disagree!

I can't believe it!

RP plays three of my favourites in a row!

Bouree, Golden Brown and now The Underwaterboys!

I would like to advise my American friends and fellow listeners

to rush to the record store tonight in hope to be able to buy this

FANTASTIC album.

An all-time-top-10 among the 15.000 albums I own on my shelve and in my PC (12.500).

Matt's has a friendlier voice, IMHO. "Dusk" is one of my top ten all-time faves. Yes, dark and brooding like Shriekback, but also like so many others of the time. Black was the only color.

Nice and smooth - a solid 8. Shriekback lyrics are always dark, but that's a good thing.

And then there's old Uncle Charlie -
He don't speak any more
He lives one side of a mirror,
A refugee from the chemical wars
A critical disposition -
He likes to eat his own hands
His principle motivation
Is a special secretion from a secret gland

Matt Johnson must have mellowed, then, because The The's 80s albums were absolutely coruscating with seething (and, IMO, righteous) anger at the state of Thatcherite Britain. He sounded like he was spitting blood when he sung the songs, and the lyrics are brutal.

 
I was making a joke about the "spitting".  Yes his social politics then and now are quite vitrolic, in a good way.

Bloody hell! Shriekback they haven't crossed my conciousness for decades. I saw them at Hatfield Poly in the 80s. As I remember they had some kind of fish fixation, oh yes and they made a square single which buggered my stylus!

Yesss... me too... 1986... living with 3 friends on the edge of the U of A campus in a large house that used to belong to a frat... I used to play this album over and over, especially when I was relaxing... as soon as I hear it I'm right back in that dodgy old living room with its beer-stained carpet and cracked walls... amazing...
