  • Tracklist
  • The debut album of the English post-punk band was released in September 1979, at a time when punk was already slowly "on the decline". It is certainly still located there and additionally in the funk, but also reggae and dub influences are clearly discernible, as is the case with similar representatives of the genre such as John Lydo's Public Image Ltd, Pere Ubu, or The Pop Group

    But also those who want to know where Franz Ferdinand, for example, got their sound and ideas from will find what they are looking for here

    A purely democratically functioning band (each instrument was given equal Each instrument was given equal space and presence - with interesting results), the expressive, painstakingly tamed guitar, crystal clear and cutting, was formative, along with the transparent sound. In addition, highly political lyrics, not world-improving like U 2, rather a semi-cynical commentary a la Sex Pistols. Hit like a bomb back then!

    Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers said after hearing the album for the first time
    "It completely changed the way I looked at rock music and sent me on my trip as a bass player."
