Warthur Showcasing a substantial musical growth from their debut, Stoosh finds Skunk Anansie diversifying their sound a little more - as well as slipping in a few interludes inspired by electronic ambient and dance music, the songs themselves are a bit more varied, with the band unafraid to throw in a transparently sing-along bit here and there (such as the surprisingly catchy refrain of "you're still a fucker" in Glorious Pop Song), and a quiet acoustic piece in the form of the haunting Pickin' On Me.

Lyrically speaking, this time around Skin seems to be taking things in a more personal direction, though opening song Yes It's Fucking Political reminds listeners that "everything's political" and we should interpret the songs in that light and ask ourselves how the personal experiences Skin sings about might be manifestations of more widespread social ills. However, don't think at Anansie have forgotten to rock out; in fact, they occasionally make the intriguing choice to go aggressive on a more emotional, personal song and go more emotive and tug at the heartstrings with a political song - compare, for instance, the rapid-fire recriminations of Twisted (Everyday Hurts) and compare it to the political ballad of We Love Your Apathy, which is cast as a sort of love song from the establishment to public ignorance of social issues.

Though I had heard and enjoyed Weak, the standout single from the debut album, several times, it was this album which was my introduction to Skunk Anansie, and in retrospect I think I made the right call because it's one of their absolute best.
