The Housemartins: The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death (Go! Discs)
David Quantick, New Musical Express, 26 September 1987
A NATION waits, breath caught in the throat with tension; the world's most commercial political pop group has released a second album, and who can say what it will be like? Me, for a kick off, because I've got it. Children and adults alike, pockets stuffed with Housemartins singles, line the streets outside my house, screaming at my window; is it any good? Yup; it's great.
