Cock Sparrer - Two Monkeys | 90s Album Review

Two Monkeys, the 1997 album by veteran punk band Cock Sparrer, blends old school British pub rock and Oi! with surprising melodic elements. Despite being released twenty-five years into their career, the album retains the raw energy of their early work, featuring socially conscious lyrics while tackling themes like working-class struggles and personal resilience. The production is cleaner than their classic albums, but it still maintains a gritty, pub-rock feel, though a few of the faster tracks could benefit from a remix due to overly-compressed and thin sounding drums.
