Music and lyrics

Handcream for a Generation features contributions from two Oasis members. Noel Gallagher contributed guitar to "Spectral Mornings" and former Oasis bassist Guigsy played bass on "Lessons Learned from Rocky I to Rocky III". The track "People Power" has the same lyrics as the first track on the album Disco and the Halfway to Discontent by former Cornershop side project Clinton, set to different music.

Critical reception

Handcream for a Generation received positive reviews from music critics. David Fricke of Rolling Stone opined that the album "is a festive crash of cultures, a Babel of loops and ethnic body language."
