This Leaden Pall is the fourth album by the English rock band Half Man Half Biscuit, released in 1993.

The album cover features a bleak overdeveloped picture of the now demolished Hale Wood pub in Halewood, Merseyside. In 2001 it was voted the 93rd best LP sleeve of all time in Q magazine.[4]

Anecdotally, lead singer Nigel Blackwell has referred to the album as their Closer.

Critical reception

  • Stewart Mason, AllMusic: "Following the somewhat shaky McIntyre, Treadmore & Davitt, This Leaden Pall is a much more self-assured transition into the new era of Half Man Half Biscuit."[1]
  • Johnny Cigarettes, NME: "Nigel Crossley [sic]'s reputation as the only rival to Vic Reeves in making cultural ephemera unfeasibly funny remains untarnished."[2]
  • Andrew Harrison, Select: "[I]n '93 the Half Men remain gloriously morose and cruelly observant."[3]
