If they liked a bit of a song, like John Kongos’“He’s Gonna Step on You Again” or LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade”, they just took it. (“Step On” and “Kinky Afro”, respectively.) If they liked the way some words sounded together, there they went — of course, more often than not, the result was brilliant and actually meaningful, certainly to me. “Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey / I had to crucify somebody today / And I don’t dig what you gotta say / So come on and say it.” Words to live by, friend.

Nonetheless, Osborne's approach to working with the erratic Shaun Ryder was to grab vocal performances whenever he could. "I just had this thing of trying to get him to sing every day. He'd come in at whatever time and he'd say he couldn't sing today — he didn't have anything to sing or his voice wasn't right. There would be a little discussion with me saying, 'Let's give it go.' I might just get a verse or he might try something out and get an idea for something else. He'd be jamming stuff, I guess. But that's how we did it. I was just constantly chipping away and then, in the morning, I'd comp. It was just a constant updating, putting stuff together." a b "Austriancharts.at – Happy Mondays – Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches" (in German). Hung Medien. Retrieved 10 October 2021.

As with Bummed, a switch in producers re-focuses and redefines the Mondays, as Paul Oakenfold and Steve Osborne replace the brittle, assaultive Martin Hannett production with something softer and expansive that is truly dance-club music instead of merely suggestive of it. Where the Stone Roses were proudly pop classicists, styling themselves after the bright pop art of the '60s, the Mondays were aggressively modern, pushing pop into the ecstasy age by leaning hard on hip-hop, substituting outright thievery for sampling. a b "Happy Mondays Chart History (Dance Club Songs)".

Retrieved 10 October 2021.An impressive and inventive album by a band who collaborated with a DJ on the cusp of stadium success and a studio engineer who would both go on to form the template for the ‘superstar DJ’ and all the good and bad that entails.

All the same, asking Oakenfold and Osborne — a duo with minimal studio experience — to produce the band’s new, and by now eagerly awaited, album was a risk. But it was a risk that paid off spectacularly. ‘Step On’ may have started life as a one-off single, but the production techniques and resulting sound that Oakenfold and Osborne hit on for the song continued flawlessly into ‘Pills ’N’ Thrills And Bellyaches’. Oakenfold told Uncut in 2019 that he was “looking for this certain sound” from the Happy Mondays, and to do that he had to upend their recording techniques, recording the band in the same way most dance music producers construct their songs, from the rhythm upward.
