Paranoid & Sunburnt
The 3868th greatest album of all time
Paranoid & Sunburnt is the debut studio album by Skunk Anansie, released in 1995. It blends alternative rock with hard rock, punk and soul influences, driven by heavy guitar riffs, tight rhythms and the distinctive, powerful vocals of Skin. The lyrics are often confrontational and political, and tracks such as "Selling Jesus", "I Can Dream" and "Charity" showcase the album's raw energy and abrasive production that helped establish the band within the 1990s UK rock scene.
