Reviews3 Stars - Good - "...as tight and covertly tuneful as The Buzzcocks, minus the hormonal longing....Cheap, but never dumb...", Ranked #31 in Nme's List of the 'greatest Albums of the '70s.', Ranked #7 in Spin's "The 10 Best Reissues of 2006" -- "These 21 squalling miniatures are post-punk's first great bow shot.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Big-Bang-like in its density, and already pregnant with the possibilities they would later realise....Brilliantly devised...", Ranked #2 in Spin's "50 Most Essential Punk Records" - "...Britain's Ramones....Call it the birth of art-punk: oblique, corrosive, itchy-catchy microsongs by pissy outsiders...", "The distilled melodies, cast-iron guitar tones and ultra-basic rhythms hold up today better than almost anything else from the class of '77...", Included in Q's "100 Best Punk Albums"., Ranked #24 in Mojo's "Top 50 Punk Albums" - "...Their debut sounded like nothing before - sparse, nervy, emotionally repressed, full of memorable hooks...", Ranked #77 in Nme's List of the 'greatest Albums of All Time.'
Additional InformationThe band's debut plays like The-Ramones-Go-to-Art-School -- song after song careens past in a glorious, stripped-down rush.
