Minx is the fourth album by the English punk rock band Leatherface.[4][2] It was released in 1993 by Roughneck Records.

Critical reception

Due to its more polished production, it was regarded by some critics as a lesser album than its predecessor, Mush.[5]

Trouser Press wrote that "Stubbs’ grotesquely rough voice still pours out the fury and Leatherface remains an unreservedly mighty force, but there are fewer places where the tuneful roar goes over the deep edge."[4] AllMusic wrote that "as it moves along, Minx sounds a bit too samey, but still sustains the heapin' hooks and super lyrics. A lot of the songs seem ordinary, or not their best, but each has some place -- a chorus, a striking bridge, a well-placed, dramatic buildup -- where it sounds triumphant, or incredibly exciting."[3]
