Shhh is the fifth studio album by British band Chumbawamba. It was originally written and recorded as Jesus H. Christ, an album that relied heavily on samples.[3] The band was unable to procure rights to a number of the songs they sampled, however, and the album was largely re-worked to defend artistic intent and criticize censorship.[4] The album sleeve artwork itself incorporated various rejection letters received by the band denying the rights to the Christ samples.[3] Shhh is considered by many to be a "genre landmark."[5]
The album was re-released with Slap! in the compilation Shhhlap!, released by MUTT Records on July 15, 2003.[1][6]
