No, look deeper.
 
"Tubthumping" may be a song about getting piss-drunk, but it doesn't portray doing that in a very positive light. Take the refrain of the song, for instance - "pissing the night away". That implies that the act is a pointless endeavour that leads nowhere. It's not some one-dimensional empowerment song like some pop music goers seem to think it is.


 
Indeed, the whole album is still chock full of sociopolitical commentary, such as on "The Good Ship Lifestyle". It reflects a feeling of isolation often found in the human psyche. Not to mention, just about every song has soundclips and skits featuring speeches by revolutionaries and assorted deep thinkers.


 
Don't underestimate a band on the basis of a more "streamlined" sound, Myooz. Especially one like Chumbawumba.

P.S.
 
But here's the thing: I guess if you really want to get your message out to the masses as a group, sometimes you just have to polish and dumb it down somewhat for the masses. It's a sacrifice some are willing to take, like Lennon did with "Imagine"
