Music
Stupid Stupid Stupid is often considered to be similar to the band's debut album, but without that album's "infectious beats, mammoth hooks and surreal humour,"[4] and instead displaying a heavier soul influence, with "Lonely" being a direct cover version of the Frederick Knight song.[4] Brent DiCrescenzo of Pitchfork Media described the music as "Manchester dance, funk, pop and rock. Loud, obnoxious, and perfect for the setting."[5]
