Paranoid & Sunburnt

High-voltage British rock anchored by heavy dub-inflected grooves and Skin's elastic, confrontational vocals. A political and deeply personal mid-90s landmark.

September 14, 1995 · Virgin

A fierce, uncompromising blend of political rage and raw, soul-baring vulnerability.

Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive transition from the fragile, whispered verses to the roaring chorus of Weak.

The heavy, rhythmic churn of the bass in Intellectualise My Blackness that feels like a physical weight.

Skins sudden, piercing high note that cuts through the wall of distortion on Charity.
