Cartoon slasher crap with repetitive music, why is this in here and viewed with so much more credibility than bands that were always said to be crap like motley crue et al - drivel. Didn’t like this when it was new and it hasn’t aged. Pure shit. Repeat riff, twiddle guitar, hit drum repeat actively. Poor man’s NWOBHM - Iron Maiden did it with more class and melody maybe in just ain’t 16!

Lives up to the hype

Enjoyable listen. Obviously not my genre but def could listen to again.

Nothing that hasn’t,t been heard before, don,t understand the hype other than the generations own shouty boys. Highly derivative

I'm not from the hood and will not ever relate, and the opening tracks seem gangsta misogyn lets sign about my dicky BUT this mellows and says something and is a damn good listen. Definitely belongs on this list.

This is a blast from my past. Prefer some of their less 80's sound - but good songs are good songs and they do use that production to make it shine

Someone I had honestly never heard of and this was 75. When I started and was intently listening for the first 20 minutes it was a 4 even 5 star, But it then became background when doing something else and ..Well was just background. So if I ever decide to listen again it might be 5 if not 3

Nirvana vs the cult of cobin, separate the sound from the myth, this is actually good

Soo much more that the greatest hits packages. This justifies the legend, so much more nuances.

Only ever heard the singles, I have been missing out for so long. It's hard to tie down so I will just except It's damn good.

Nothing here for me that puts it onto a must have heard list. Don’t dislike it when listening but nothing that would make Me go back to it either.

The main reason that I decided to do this project is to move outside my algorithm and get things like this that I would never hear. It's pleasant and I enjoyed listening, is it the best example of It's field - I have no idea, will I actively seek it out, no probably not, though I have liked the title track, but it's been better than some of the western music I have heard on this so far.

Why have I not ever gotten into this band, so much more than just the (accepted great) singles.

First time hearing the band, having moved from indie in the mid 90’s. The 1st 30 seconds I thought oh no, but by the end of the track hooked. Poetic, low-fi, country tinged.

👍

Another interesting item this project has thrown up, great rhythms, melodies. Think because of me not being unable to speak the language I’m missing out on an important part of what when are expressing if the wiki entry is anything to go by, but still great music all the same, and will have to take a-look at the documentary.

Really? If this is your thing then good for you. But personally, Is this a post modern take on what happened in the 1970’s and 1980’s with English as second language, so lyrics are just **** ( sorry they are supposedly challenging political correctness), so it makes the list? There must be, are other records that should be on the must hear 1001 albums! rather than this.

I had completely forgotten RFTC, used to own this and their debut Circa, now (may still do somewhere). It is what it is, was not expecting this to come up on this list. When it hits, on a rope etc. yeah it’s good garage rock/post punk with decent hooks, but again surprised it’s an essential must hear(maybe that’s my bias and I don’t give the same weight to things from my youth as “before” my time), nice to revisit all the same.

Well that is just pleasant, don’t speak Spanish but it is a language that just sounds musical. On holiday today and this sounds just nice.

It’s the Pogues, Irish folk with punk styling, to me, what’s not to like.

Electronic music has never been my thing, aware of the 90s scene and KLF but only in passing. But to be honest I am glad that this is on the list because I enjoyed listening for 1st time to this today, though won’t be revisiting anytime soon. Essential? Guess in that it reps a genre yeah.

Always listed as being influential, always turn up on those documentaries about the 60s. Kind of hear it, but just feel missing that killer song for me.

Great music, great sound and feel, and songs. Shame it’s less than 30 mins but it does a lot in the time.

An important album for its influences, it's just never really hit me as much as I have tried, the bits I like make me feel it's great, the rest not so much.

Just fun, energetic, edgy, catchy music with a sense of humour . The Damned deserve a greater reputation than they get if this is anything to go by. This is just a damn (had to do it) good punk rock album, wish had heard before.
