So not much to say about The Undertones debut album, which for 1979 was a bit ahead of its time… Short, simple, succinct songs – with a fairly decent sound for that time, and nothing that really sucked, is an accomplishment as far as I’m concerned… I also run it through the lens of – if I had just turned 18 in 1979, and this is what my band and I created – I’d be pretty proud of it… Does it mean that it belongs in the pantheon of great albums of all-time, hell no – but far better than a lot of the “swill” that I have had to listen to on this 1,001 journey… Solid 2 from me…
