Tonight You Are the Special One (original) (raw)
Tonight You Are the Special One is the second and final album by British band Earl Brutus, released in 1998 as their only album for Fruition Recordings, a subsidiary of Island Records. Following the critical success but commercial failure of the group's previous album Your Majesty... We Are Here (1996), Earl Brutus spent a year recording Tonight in their Wembley studio. Though the band self-produced most of the material, a couple of songs were co-produced by others such as Dave Ball and William Reid. The album continues the band's aggressive sound, mixing glam rock and electronic influences and incorporating the group's distinctive "post-pub" lyrical style.

| dbo:abstract | Tonight You Are the Special One is the second and final album by British band Earl Brutus, released in 1998 as their only album for Fruition Recordings, a subsidiary of Island Records. Following the critical success but commercial failure of the group's previous album Your Majesty... We Are Here (1996), Earl Brutus spent a year recording Tonight in their Wembley studio. Though the band self-produced most of the material, a couple of songs were co-produced by others such as Dave Ball and William Reid. The album continues the band's aggressive sound, mixing glam rock and electronic influences and incorporating the group's distinctive "post-pub" lyrical style. The album cover was designed by Scott King and depicts two cars feeding each other exhaust fumes via a hose in a visual metaphor for corporate suicide. Promoted by a national tour and the singles "The SAS and the Glam That Goes with It", "Come Taste My Mind" and "Universal Plan", the latter two of which charted on the UK Singles Chart, Tonight You Are the Special One was another critical success but commercial disappointment for Earl Brutus, who subsequently split up. As the group rose in stature in the years following their dissolution, Tonight You Are the Special One was re-released alongside the group's debut in 2016 by Loop 3 Music in a new remastered version containing bonus material.
