Bloodsport by Sneaker Pimps
Bloodsport is an album by Sneaker Pimps, released in 2002. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Sick”, on 1 list with a best position of #58.
Bloodsport, Sneaker Pimps' third studio album, came out on Tommy Boy on 22 January 2002, with Jim Abbiss producing. The Hartlepool band founded by Liam Howe and Chris Corner had long since moved past Becoming X, with Corner taking over the vocals, and here the trip-hop murk turns colder and more claustrophobic, all brittle electronics and Corner's hushed, wounded delivery on songs like "Sick".
Fans took to it; critics shrugged, and it sold poorly, missing the charts entirely in the UK. It was also the last album before a long silence: guitarist Joe Wilson and drummer Dave Westlake left in 2002, and it would take until 2021's Squaring the Circle for the band to release a new album.
