Pope Adrian 37th Psychristiatric is a concept album by the band Rudimentary Peni. It has been rumored that the album was written while lead singer/guitarist Nick Blinko was being detained in a psychiatric hospital. The subject matter of the album is purported to be based on the delusions Blinko was experiencing at the time, particularly the idea that he was to assume the Papacy, and become the second English Pope in history. CD comes in gatefold wallet with 16 page art book. Review: in reply to a review... i smell a critic. - Considering the delusions that Nick Blinko was having at the time, of which concept this album is based on, I think the production aesthetic was completely new and avant-garde... or should I say avant-garble. With all due respect. If you like Peni give this time it will grow on you if you take the time to get lost in the madness. The fact that they put a loop on repeat over the background across the whole album should not only contest to Nick's psychosis at the time, but also make you suspect the rest of the band is a bit batty too. While I was initially shocked and aghast by this offering, I have come to love this through knowledge gained. Almost as much as I love my favorite Peni album, Cacophony, which I hated even more than this on the first spin in my young dumber years. Cheers! Review: My favorite RP in years - For the first time in over 15 years, this is a Peni record that I've really liked the first time I heard it. The last was Cacophony back in 1988 or whenever it was released. Years later they released Pope Adriatic, and I really disliked it on first blush. And second blush, and third blush... Eventually it grew on me and I came to enjoy it. But the next two records, Echoes of Anguish and The Underclass, have been out for a few years now and I've never warmed up to either of them. RP sounded very bored and "going through the motions" to me on those records, even though they were obviously trying hard to ape their own performances on Deathchurch and Farce. I can't put my finger on exactly why, but Archaic sounds to me like the best RP has done been a very, very long time. The writing, the playing, the singing, it all comes together in classic Peni fashion. EDIT 4/23/14: Wow, this really weird. I'm taking a trip down memory lane, looking through my old reviews, and I notice that this one has somehow been moved over to the wrong record. This review was for Archaic, not Pope Adrian.

What the hell? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some people love this album and some people hate it *by S***O on September 25, 2014* Some people love this album and some people hate it. Even amongst fans of RP, Pope Adrian is looked upon with disdain. However, one thing that you cannot deny, even if you hate this album is the fact that it is real, raw and utterly psychotic. And for me that's exactly what I like about it. The band blasts and pounds away while vocalist/guitarist Nick Blinko barks and shouts repetitive sentences and words pertaining to his delusions of being pope, while the phrase "papus Adrianus" is repeated continuously throughout the albums entirety. If you like your music out of the ordinary, you can't get any better than this. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4103973-pope-adrian-37th](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4103973-pope-adrian-37th) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
