I spent a very enjoyable morning in bed with a mug of hot chocolate, listening to this album and finishing Ian McEwan's Black Dogs. It is rather odd that I am so cheerful now, as both works could hardly be described as uplifting.
This album sounded quite similar to Seventeen Seconds from yesterday; perhaps this was a bit angrier. I think I enjoyed this one slightly more, as I found the lyrics to be more accessible and poetic. My favorite line came from "Stars Are Stars": "I caught that falling star, it cut my hands to pieces." I appreciate that they are trying to communicating quintessential punk messages with more artistic flair.
Up next: Motorhead. That sounds intimidating.
RATING: 4/5
