Shouting and Pointing is the second and final album by British band Mott, released in 1976.[2]

Despite favourable nods by critics in the music press, Shouting and Pointing was the only Mott album to not chart at all in either the U.S. or U.K. Following that disappointment, the band was dropped by CBS records. Singer Benjamin left, to be replaced by ex-Medicine Head band singer/guitarist John Fiddler, and the band changed their name to British Lions, just one year after the release of this album. Retrospective reception to the album is now negative.
