Anyone listening to Happyhead's sole album unaware of the participants would likely be shocked to find out that the album's mastermind is Carl Marsh, former lead singer of the considerably more intriguing Shriekback. Give Happyhead is slick post-Madchester dance-pop not at all far removed from Jesus Jones or Happy Mondays, with little of the wit or invention shown even in Shriekback's more commercially minded later albums. The songs tend to be a little too speedy for effective dancing, and Marsh's sloganeering, obsessively self-referential lyrics might have worked better if he hadn't unwisely chosen to print them on the CD booklet. That said, the album's two singles, "Fabulous" and "Digital Love Thing," are effective slabs of pop-dance electronica, with inviting grooves and a sly sense of humor. The rest of the album feels like weak copies of those two successful tracks.
