My first response was that this kind of felt like someone's mum - albeit a very cool mum - has had enough of this sh*t and decided to tell it like it is through the medium of a new wave album. Perhaps because I did find this an uncomfortable listen in places. It's heartfelt and quite a tough listen at times. To quote Mark E. Smith "I don’t particularly like the person singing on this L.P. That said, I marvel at [their] guts". Not one I would play often, but I am glad it exists.

Not quite the classic I was expecting. I've heard a lot of noise about this album, without ever listening to it. I've not missed out. It's decent, but not great. Working Class Hero felt authentic. Never an easy task. Why'd Ya Do It was difficult listening.
