I went 'Step On' it's the 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' of baggy. I mean i don't even hear it anymore when it's playing. I was already a Monday's fan from 'Bummed'... & I really loved 'Step On'.but I was really dissapointed with the Pills, Thrills, it just felt too smooth, I thought the production killed it. Sounds so dated now, Bummed still sounds pretty decent. Agree completely with what you say about Pills, Thrills.... I hate to say 'sell out', but I think it's true in this case. They piggybacked on the whole 70s craze ('oooh flares and Spangles and 'X' rated films!'), lost a lot of what made them unique, and the result was a really disappointing record. Bummed still sounds absolutely triumphant to me - one of my very favourite albums. I part way agree. They did lose some of the idiosyncratic wildness. But Pills is still a very strong set of songs. Dennis and Lois is probably my favourite Mondays track.

Yeah, i still like Pills a lot, with at least a handful of cracking songs. It's no Bummed though.

I still really dig Step On. Cheesy Italian style house piano n all. It’s a great cover.
The Only One I Know is a great single. A rip off, yeah, but I’d take it over Hush any day of the week. Great middle 8 too – that’s the money shot for me
I agree about the Carpets too. There is something touching about its northern kitchen sink drama.
The 808 state song is the kind of thing I might dance to during a Madchester disco but I would never listen to it out of that context.
