Same as It Never Was is the sixth studio album by The Herbaliser. It was released on Studio !K7 in 2008.

Critical reception

John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5, saying: "There's no doubting the Herbaliser's ability to deliver exactly what they're attempting, but despite the excellent playing and good vocal features (when they occur), the songwriting and choice of material make this record inferior to the usual Herbaliser standard."[1]
