Nurse was Therapy?'s first record for a major label, the Larne trio's 1992 debut for A&M, and it doesn't sound remotely grateful for the promotion. Andy Cairns, Michael McKeegan and Fyfe Ewing wrote it holed up in a farmhouse in County Carlow, then cut most of it at Loco Studio in Caerleon, Wales, with Harvey Birrell producing; only "Gone" was taped back in Ireland, at Annamoe.
What came out is a grinding, clanking beast, noise rock and industrial metal bolted onto hard, tight songs, Cairns barking over riffs that loop like factory machinery while Ewing hammers and McKeegan's bass churns underneath. "Teethgrinder" is the one that bared its teeth on the countdowns. Critics were kind, the album got to number 38 in the UK, and Troublegum was still two years off.
