about this album
No More Heroes is the second album by The Stranglers, produced by Martin Rushent, and released in 1977 (see 1977 in music). It featured a photo of a wreath placed on a coffin with the tails of several rats (the Stranglers' 'trademark'). The album became one of the band's highest charting releases, peaking at no.2 on the UK album chart, and stayed in the chart for 19 weeks. The album consists of various recordings left over from the session for their Rattus Norvegicus album, along with new material. In his book The Stranglers: Song by Song, Hugh Cornwell noted the fact that the first three tracks on the record are all sung by different lead vocalists, a trait it shares with Revolver by The Beatles. Two singles were released from the album: "No More Heroes", and a double A-side of "Something Better Change" and the non-album track "Straighten Out". A further non-album single was released later that year, "Five Minutes"/"Rok It To The Moon". The album was reissued as a remastered CD in 2001, which included the additional tracks from these singles. The album's title track became one of the band's most popular hits. Its lyrics include references to Leon Trotsky, Sancho Panza, Lenny Bruce and Elmyr de Hory. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
