2005 studio album by Half Man Half Biscuit
Achtung Bono is the tenth album by UK indie rock band Half Man Half Biscuit , released in 2005.[4]
In 2010, a Facebook campaign was mounted with the aim of saving BBC 6 Music from threatened closure and, as a sign of protest, to get "Joy Division Oven Gloves" from Achtung Bono to No. 6 in the UK Singles Chart on 12 April 2010.[5] [6] In the event, it entered the Singles Chart that week at No. 56 and the Independent Singles Chart at No. 3.[7] [8] Whether or not the campaign was influential, BBC 6 Music was saved.
Critical reception [ edit ]
Reviews were generally favourable:
Stewart Mason, Allmusic : "One of their finest albums".[2]
Roger Holland, PopMatters : "Achtung Bono is a worthy addition to the HMHB canon".[9]
Ben Granger, Spike Magazine : "This is probably not one of Half Man Half Biscuit’s best albums. And yet its [sic ] still fantastic".[10]
Dom Passantino, Stylus Magazine : "UK album of the year, by a landslide".[3]
