Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Readymades and its songs.......2007-05-07

the Readymades sessions from Chumbawamba is probably the best techno album for those who enjoy both the dance music and the dance whilst shouting and serenading the love out of life. each song is beautiful to dance and sing to. it's one of the rarest albums that can provide music lovers more than just music, the lyrics are strong and fascinating.

5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous Album.......2006-06-25

this album sounds like A Rock Version of what Enya could have been, it's great songs that won't bore you or put you to sleep, all of the tracks have a danger-free vibe feel to it, it's sounds scary but the kind that you'll ride the boat with miles away from home, so don't rock the boat, enjoy Readymades

5 out of 5 stars Folk meets dancebeats meets brilliant songwriting meets anarchy meets a talented band.......2005-10-21

I own several albums by Chumbawamba, and have always felt bad for them that they've been dismissed as a one-hit wonder (for "Tubthumping") when in actuality they're an incredibly talented band that crafts every one of its albums to be unique and beautiful.
And of all their albums, this one's my favorite.
The albums samples heavily from old-time British folk music recordings, and though all its songs are political, if you don't read the album's liner notes you can just enjoy the songs as well-crafted, danceable, lovely songs.
"Salt Fare, North Sea" contains beautiful piano, "Jacob's Ladder" features danceable reoccuring horns, and "Home With Me" is the album's best song and is featured prominently in the award-winning short film "Suicide Tom" by filmmaker Dakota LaCroix. The song starts with a nice lilt of a keyboard bumping along, female backing vocals, and goes into a kind voice naming a series of great memories, and swells into the chorus, "I sailed the seven seas...carved my love on trees...I brought the whole world home with me...home with me." It's about always keeping the good moments of life, in your head and in your heart, and it's beautiful.
All of the songs are great though, and any money you might spend on this album would be money well-invested. It's terrific. "Readymades" will make you feel happy, melancholy, and like life is worth living. And read the liner notes, and you might learn something about world politics and the anarchist view.

1 out of 5 stars Disappointing. . ........2004-12-03

I bought this CD just by chance - I had found it at a big warehouse sell-off on Industrial rd. in Ottawa for $2. Some supplier probably bought dozens thinking that Tubthumper was popular, so why not Readymades? Well, were they sure mistaken.
This CD is terrible. Now, terrible is subjective, but if liked WYSIWYG or even Tubthumper, you will be sorely dissapointed. The CD is full of acoustic guitar and mundane harmless lyrics. The jacket has some interesting quotes, but otherwise, this CD is not worth your time.

4 out of 5 stars Great music x100.......2003-12-28

I got Chumba's first CD solely because I loved the song Tubthumping. Little did I know the beauty I had in my hands- the whole CD was/is brilliant. I loved that CD...it became one of my favorites.

I picked up Readymades eagerly, and I have to say it is right up there with their first CD. I was a LITTLE dissapointed that it really has more music rather than lyrics, and the style has seemed to change from interesting rocky-like to trance/club stuff. It's still good, still catchy, still beautiful. Just slightly different. Would have liked to hear more Alice and more of the guy that talks rather than singing (sorry, I don't know his name!!)
