Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "There's a breathtaking sprawl of musical styles on display, the experimentation of previous albums still evident, but tempered with a more accessible and traditional rock blueprint...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "An expansive eco-concept piece that managed to be eclectic, psychedelic and surprisingly funky.", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...PEGGY SUICIDE is an extraordinary opus, an ecological protest album, a dream-state odyssey tracing humanity's relentless march to self-destruction....combines rhythmic precision and artful keyboard deployment with swelling guitar chaos and first-take vocal immediacy...", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...grand, over-ambitious, shamelessly conceptual...laced with jolly, commercial singles...", One of Q's 50 best albums of 1991., 8 (out of 10) - "...a rich double album which consistently elucidates and hallucinates on one subject: Our Planet...", Highly Recommended - "...The basic gist? Mother Earth bites it. Pollution, poll tax, AIDS, and war all fit the fucked-up picture, and the accompanying music on this double record is equally as skewed..."
It's a personal thing really, the first thing I bought by him was a cassette EP with interviews, "World Shut Your Mouth", "Levitation", "Umpteenth Unnatural Blues" and "Non Alignment Pact", none of those tracks reappeared on anything else apart from a different cut of "World Shut Your Mouth" on the album "Saint Julian". "Peggy Suicide" is a brilliant album, from 1982 to 1984 I'd been living with a Peggy who was my lady friend and we got split up by a social worker doing my mother's will, I was 26 in 1984 and almost didn't make it into '85, tried to drink myself to death so Peggy Suicide... yeah - but terrific album too. I disowned my mother on Christmas Day 1984, she died unforgiven in 2010, don't miss her one bit!
