UPC 5017615848625
Hypnotised is a 1980 album released by The Undertones. The album, the second of four released by the band, was recorded at Wisseloord Studios in the Netherlands in December 1979, and at Eden Studios in London in January 1980, with the majority of the songs to appear on the album being written between March and December 1979. In addition, although the primary lyrical concern of the songs upon this album focused upon teenage angst, boisterousness, and heartbreak (as had been the case with their debut album), several of the songs upon Hypnotised are notably both lyrically and musically more sophisticated than material released upon The Undertones.
Produced by Roger Bechirian between December 1979 and January 1980, Hypnotised was released on 21 April 1980, reaching number 6 in the UK Albums Charts and making Hypnotised the highest-charting album of their career.
The original release of Hypnotised included two singles: "My Perfect Cousin", which was released on 28 March 1980 and reached number 9 in the charts; and "Wednesday Week", released on 5 July 1980 and which charted at number 11 three weeks later.
Az 1980-as Hypnotised a The Undertones nagylemeze. A brit albumlistán a 6. helyig jutott, így az együttes legsikeresebb albuma. Szerepel az 1001 lemez, amit hallanod kell, mielőtt meghalsz című könyvben.
Az eredeti kiadáson olyan slágerek szerepeltek, mint a My Perfect Cousin, amely 1980 áprilisában érte el a 9. helyet a brit kislemezlistán, valamint a Wednesday Week, amely a 11. helyet szerezte meg ugyanazon év júliusában.
