90 Bisodol

"90 Bisodol (Crimond)" is the 12th album by English rock band Half Man Half Biscuit, released in 2011. The album sees the band continue their signature style of satirical, sarcastic, and often surreal lyrics woven into their unique blend of punk-inspired rock music.

The title "90 Bisodol (Crimond)" refers to Bisodol, a brand of indigestion tablet, implying a sense of discomfort or unease that is often reflected in the band's caustic lyrical themes. "Crimond" is traditionally a hymn tune used in Christian worship, indicating the band's persistent juxtaposition of the mundane with the profound.

The album received positive reviews from critics for its clever wordplay and the band's ever-evolving musical prowess. Standout tracks include "Joy Division Oven Gloves," "Surging Out of Convalescence," and "Left Lyrics in the Practice Room," each showcasing the band's deft ability to combine humor with poignant social commentary.

Formed in Birkenhead, Merseyside in 1984, Half Man Half Biscuit quickly gained attention for their humorous and satirical observations on British life. Despite their relative success, the band has consistently maintained a low-key and independent approach to their music, rarely touring and releasing albums at their own pace. This approach is clearly reflected in "90 Bisodol (Crimond)," which sees the band continue to eschew commercial sensibilities in favor of their unique brand of acerbic social satire.
