    At its best, in its stoned funk and stewed grooves, there's enough to suggests they could even fulfill their early ambition to be the "Sly and the Family Stone of Salford." Double double good.

    With Uncle Dysfunktional there's no faulting the band's ambition - the music veers from country to samba to electronica - and Ryder's lascivious drawl and surreal wordplay remain intact.

    So long as you approach Unkle Dysfunctional as little more than an excuse for Shaun Ryder to head back out on the road, I guess it works fine.

    great album. a new Direction on tunes like anti warhole which I think is great, but my favourite track has got to be Dr Dick , which I think in time will be seen as a classic. Other tracks tack me back to the sound of bummed like Cuntry disco.over all this album is much better and more creative in the new moves it makes than any of the new crop of bands who can only harp back to the great days of the strokes first LP.… Expand
