"To Hell with Good Intentions" was out in February 2002, a few weeks ahead of mclusky Do Dallas, the second album the British band Mclusky released on Too Pure that April. Steve Albini recorded it, and the writing credit is shared three ways among Andy Falkous, Jon Chapple and Matthew Harding.
It became one of four singles off a record whose very title is a smutty pun on Debbie Does Dallas, the 1978 skin flick, which tells you most of what you need to know about this band's sense of humor. Critics lapped the album up: AllMusic's Tim DiGravina put it in the company of Nevermind and marveled at Falkous's deranged vocals, and Tiny Mix Tapes cheered a band that refused to take itself seriously.
