What makes Sad But True by The Times notable?

This album is notable for its incisive commentary on contemporary issues, especially through tracks like 'Two Hitlers in One Bunker', which garnered attention for its provocative title and content. The album solidified The Times' legacy in the Britpop and post-punk movements of the 1990s, influencing later artists who explored similar lyrical themes. By the time 'Sad But True' was released in January 1997, The Times, led by Ed Ball, had established themselves as a distinctive voice within the UK post-punk scene. This album followed their critically acclaimed work 'The Sound of Now' (1994) and marked a continued evolution in their sound as they delved deeper into themes of alienation and identity.
