For fans of: Post-Punk Perfection
What they're saying: This record marked a bit of a transition in the band’s LONG career. Stereogum’s Robert Ham chalks it up to some more feminine energy that “came out a bit when Brix joined, but you can feel the larger holes being poked in the masculine façade of the group with the introduction of keyboardist Marcia Schofield.“ Iain Key defending the band’s stylistic turn on the Louder Than War blog: “I like to think this is the sound of a band relaxing a little, letting loose and allowing themselves to have a good time during a creative peak.”
What we say: Do you know Mark E. Smith? This is a good place to start. One of the most popular records by one of the best and most influential groups from the fertile crop of 80's UK post-punks. (Also features their BIGGEST HIT - a cover of The Kinks ‘Victoria’)
