[edit] Accolades

[edit] Press

In December 2009, Monday at the Hug & Pint entered The Skinny's "Scottish Albums of the Decade" list at #7. Upon receiving the accolade, Malcolm Middleton stated:[4]

“ It’s not our best record, but it does have a couple of good songs on it. I don’t really think about this album much, maybe I should go back and listen to it again. ”


[edit] Musicians

The Twilight Sad vocalist James Graham lists the album amongst his favourite releases of the 2000s:[5]

“ This was the first Arab Strap album that I ever listened to. For me it was the first record that I realized it was OK to sing in your own accent. Aidan [Moffat] is one of the best lyricists of the past two decades! ”
