Our Take

Ah, Mansun – the eccentric, enigmatic, and endlessly entertaining band that never quite got the recognition they deserved. Attack Of The Grey Lantern, their debut album, now celebrating its 21st anniversary with a remastered edition, is a testament to their unique blend of alternative rock, glam, and Britpop.

From the moment the opening track "The Chad Who Loved Me" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. With its anthemic chorus, soaring guitars, and frontman Paul Draper's distinctive vocals, it's a perfect introduction to Mansun's world. The album is full of surprises, from the psychedelic soundscapes of "Stripper Vicar" to the infectious pop hooks of "Wide Open Space."

But what really sets Mansun apart is their theatricality. "Dark Mavis" sounds like it belongs in a West End musical, while the epic "Taxloss" is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to tax evasion that somehow manages to be both absurd and anthemic.

The remastered edition of Attack Of The Grey Lantern breathes new life into these songs, making them sound crisper and more powerful than ever before. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to Mansun's music, this reissue is a must-listen. So dim the lights, turn up the volume, and let Mansun take you on a journey through the grey lantern.
