It could have all gone so wrong for the Longpigs. By 1999, they hadn't stepped into the public eye for over two years and relations with their previous drummer had reached such a low point that he'd glassed frontman Crispin Hunt in a Sheffield nightclub. In lean times, they needed to come back with something special; thankfully, comeback single "Blue Skies" was precisely that--a shrieking, soaring post-Britpop monster that eclipsed even the impassioned anthemics of their debut album, The Sun Is Often Out. Sadly, elsewhere Mobile Home tarries over Longpigs' favoured talking points--drugs, relationships, kissing with tongues--with increasingly diminishing returns. "Free Toy" might shimmer with the seedy glamour of yesteryear, but as Mobile Home rolls on, it seems that Longpigs' dirty passions are spent. "There is not yet a neat media label to describe you and me in this age", sings Hunt on "Gangsters". Uh, how about "past it"?
