Album notes
Ned's Atomic Dustbin: Jonn (vocals); Rat (guitar); Mat (bass); Alex (bass, vocals); Dan (drums). With their debut album, GOD FODDER, lost in the post-NEVERMIND grunge explosion, Ned's Atomic Dustbin were at something of a crossroads. The GOD FODDER tour had keep the band on the road for much of 1991, and much of the material for their sophomore effort was written on the road. ARE YOU NORMAL? features two marked differences from the previous album. First, in an effort to break the band in the US, Sony Music hooked them up with producer Andy Wallace (who had mixed the aforementioned Nirvana record). Second, perhaps in response to their grueling tour schedule, the new songs were somewhat less frenetic than the earlier ones, mostly exploring egos and relationships. Standouts include "Not Sleeping Around," which plays a frantic, slithering guitar off dual bass lines; "A Leg End in His Own Boots" (occasionally miswritten as "Legend," which is, of course, the joke), a vicious put down set to a curiously smooth, looping guitar line and a rolling beat; and "Fracture," a laid-back instrumental unlike anything else in the band's catalogue.
Editorial reviews
3 Stars - Good Q (10/01/1993)
...Swirling guitars, a modicum of energy, a nice voice, and weird song titles ensure that this band will be breaking here [in America] soon...perfect for the ecstasy crowd... Alternative Press (01/01/1993)
...This is the Neds venting their frustrations but finding order through catharsis... NME (11/07/1992)
...This second album has depth and staying power... - Rating: B+ Entertainment Weekly (11/27/1992)
