One More Megabyte by Toy Dolls

One More Megabyte, the ninth studio album from English punk jokers Toy Dolls, came out on Receiver in the UK in April 1997, and it was also the first of their records to get a proper American release, on Rotten Records. Bassist K'Cee had quit after Orcastrated, so Gary Fun stepped in, and the new lineup cut it at Fairview Studios in Hull that January, with singer and guitarist Olga producing.

The big joke is the computer boom: the cover, the title and several songs poke at it, and the title track is about a kid hooked on computer games. Elsewhere the album goes after bickering lovers (at least four songs' worth), snooty Shakespearean actors and lonely introverts, trips through a sped-up cover of the Proclaimers' "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", and bookends the songs with little comedy skits. Members of the Vibrators, the Lurkers and the Wildhearts chip in on backing vocals. Critics liked it, and the band toured the world behind it for a year.
