Us is the second album from Scottish indie band Mull Historical Society, and the follow-up to Loss. It includes the singles "The Final Arrears" and "Am I Wrong". Us (2003) received generally positive reviews;[3] NME called it "a joyous slice of orchestral prozac".[4] The track "The Supermarket Strikes Back" is a riposte to "Barcode Bypass" from Loss.[5] After the album was released the record label, Warners, dropped the band.[6]
