background

The album Clawfinger is the third album by the band Clawfinger. It was released on September 29, 1997 on the Warner Music Group label. It contained 12 tracks according to the track list. There were also three bonus tracks:

  • RealiTV (3:46)
  • Runner Boy (3:36)
  • What Gives Us the Right (3:36)

Music videos and singles have been released for the songs Biggest & The Best , Two Sides and Don't Wake Me Up .

The album was named after the band because the band members could not agree on an album name. Zak Tell said in an interview that when he looked at the printed cover, the title idea "Third Time Lucky" came too late. The revolver drum pictured on the cover contains just one bullet that would be fired the third time the trigger was pulled, a nod to the band's third album.

The album received divided opinions. The first five pieces received positive reviews, while the following got rather negative reviews.

"Regardless of all these criticisms," Clawfinger "is worth eight points because the five tracks mentioned at the beginning are really great and don't have to hide behind Nigger , Truth or Do What I Say ."
