During the genre's golden era, believe it or not, Australian punk sounded very much like British punk. Like the Sex Pistols and the Clash. Not a bad thing by any means - there's plenty of great punk to be found here. 'Lost and Found', 'Private Affair', 'The Perfect Day', and 'New Centre of the Universe' are all exceptional, traditional punk tracks. But there's an almost vintage feel to this album, a Stooges edge, and a classic Rock' N Roll edge too. It's a punk record that appreciates the sounds that lead up to "punk" as we know it today. It's very diverse-sounding - it can fall into the traditional sounds of punk just as easily as it can fall out of them. There is a certain pop appeal to the songs here. From the acoustic-driven 'Untitled' to 'Run Down', a straightforward punk track that boasts an almost "country" and "soul" vibe. 'No, Your Product' is another great example of this because, unlike many other punk tracks from its time, it actually progresses when that lead guitar is introduced halfway through and it starts building alongside the vocalist. And this song, 'No, Your Product' is also a masterclass in punk writing - it evokes this itchy, claustrophobic feeling at first - one born out of a repetitive, mundane, and straight life; one that lacks any form of individualism (a common theme on this record). But when the guitar starts building with Chris' cries to break free, the track just bursts open. It's one of the most cathartic moments in a punk album I've heard. 'Orstralia' shares similar sentiments, and is one of the funnier songs here. I also love Chris' deadpan delivery all over this album, a staple of the genre, but here it all feels particularly sarcastic. For how amazing and eclectic everything sounds, it sure does feel like it was achieved almost effortlessly. And that makes for one cool ass record.
