Reviews:"Stripper Vicar"
Not a bad tune in a Eleanor Rigsby, Oasis-meet-The-Monkees kind of way, but not the most inspiring of subjects. There's easy targets and there's easy targets, and cross-dressing members of the clergy is right up there with the worst excesses of the tabloids. What are Mansun after? A guest slot on GMTV? I can just see Anthea Turner now: "And now here's our favourite Britpop band Mansun with a topical song entitled 'Latest Royal Scandal'". Actually, that seems to be the subject of b-side "Duchess". Sad, but true.
Mansun just seem to be going through the motions here, desperately looking for a bit of notoriety.
Rating: 5/10
