Mansun were an English rock band formed in Chester, active 1995–2003, led by Paul Draper.

Debut album Attack Of The Grey Lantern (1997) reached UK number 1. Six (1998) is widely praised for its ambitious, collage-like structure. The band split in the early 2000s and the compilation Legacy/other post-split releases collected remaining material.

Two DeBaser reviews highlight Mansun's ambition and genre-blending approach. Attack Of The Grey Lantern is praised as a near-masterpiece and a UK number one debut. Six is described as a hypnotic, unclassifiable collage that repositions the band's legacy.

 This debut album by the unforgettable Mansun had a strange life (much like the band's own career): released in March 1997 when the Chester quartet was practically unknown, this record shot to number 1 in the UK charts, dethroning none other than Blur.
