It was produced by Steve Brown (Wham!, the Cult, Manic Street Preachers),[1][4] who had worked as a mixing engineer on the Godfathers' second album Birth, School, Work, Death.[3]Unreal World marked the first Godfathers album to feature guitarist Chris Burrows, who replaced original member Kris Dollimore,[1] and the last studio album with original members Michael Gibson (guitar) and George Mazur (drums).[5] The album includes a cover of the Creation's 1968 single "How Does It Feel to Feel". Vic Maile, who produced the Godfathers' first three studio albums, had worked as an engineer on the original version by the Creation.[3] Maile died of cancer in July 1989, shortly after completing work on the Godfathers' third album More Songs About Love and Hate.[5]
Graeme Kaye in Q magazine noted that the album "builds on the same steadfastly foundations as its predecessor."[2]
Tom Demalon, writing for AllMusic, wrote that the band "deliver muscular and meaty rock and roll with the energy of the Ramones and the Stooges, and a nod toward '60s melodicism." He added that the album, "which gets stronger as it progresses," ranges from "the sweet, unabashed guitar pop" of "Believe in Yourself" and "Drag Me Down Again" to the metallic stomp of the equally hooky "Something Good About You" and "Can't Try Harder." He described the album as "a thunderous slab of rock played with passion and sincerity."[1]
