All That Glue is a compilation album by British electronic music duo Sleaford Mods. It was released on 15 May 2020 on the Rough Trade label. [9]

Contents

The album cover depicts Marcel Duchamp's readymade sculpture Fountain from 1917.

Content and background

The album contains tracks taken from albums and singles as well as previously unreleased tracks. The unreleased tracks were recorded mostly when the band were working on albums or EPs between 2013 and 2016. The band has stated that these more obscure songs were included on All That Glue because "we thought that some of them deserved to be put out because they’re just as strong as the albums tracks." [10]

The album title is the name of the first song Sleaford Mods members Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn ever wrote together c. 2011. The track was available as a bonus flexi disc on a limited edition vinyl version of the album. [10]

All That Glue was met with "universal acclaim" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 82, based on 6 reviews. [1]
