3 Stars (out of 5) - "...Chumbawamba employ rousing electronic power chords and have toned down some of the radical rhetoric....TUBTHUMPER may not enlighten the masses, but it'll make them dance.", Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1997.", "U.K. ensemble Chumbawamba hae mastered the fist-in-velvet-glove sucker punch. Any weapon is fair game: jungle, synth-pop, hip-hop--even faux madrigals....Social commentary never tasted so sweet." - Rating: B+, "...there is the amusing irony of seeing an anarchist band on EMI. Good attitude, subverting from within and all that jazz, although it will quite clearly end in tears. But let's enjoy the bizarre spectacle while it lasts...", "...fresh songs...positively over-flowing with that bleedin' trumpet and infectiously catchy choruses."
