The first few notes of <i>\u2018H-142\u2019<\/i> even sound as if Madness\u2019 <i>\u2018One Step Beyond\u2019<\/i> is about to salvage your sanity from the brink, but yet again the onslaught of flustered pandemonium continues \u2013 even the most rebellious ska doesn\u2019t hold a candle to the chaos here.

Any hopes of a decent racy electric solo in <i>\u2018Sonseed\u2019<\/i> are crushed within seconds by truly bonkers nonsense, but should you find yourself in need of a good caterwauling to pass the time, <i>\u2018Boss Moggy\u2019<\/i> is your companion. While the album closes on two rather faint glimmers of structured prospects of <i>\u2018I.I.A.H.S.W.E.S.\u2019<\/i> and <i>\u20183DPD\u2019<\/i>, there\u2019s no living down the other 10 abominations.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s highly doubtful <b>BRITNEY<\/b> will give two hoots what critics have to say \u2013 they\u2019re not out for top marks or gold stars.
