Four Lads Who Shook the Wirral
Four Lads Who Shook the Wirral is the seventh album by Wirral-based UK rock band Half Man Half Biscuit (HMHB), released in June 1998.
Critical reception.
- Stewart Mason, AllMusic: "Half Man Half Biscuit released this album within one calendar year of its predecessor, 1997's "Voyage to the Bottom of the Road" [...], and perhaps that accounts for the somewhat lackluster feel. [...] [T]here is enough of interest here to
appeal to the converted, but newcomers should perhaps start elsewhere."
