- 1980 in 1993

A triumphant return for the Buzzcocks. Every song is in keeping with the groups tried and tested three minute thrill, the oohs and aahs sending shivers down the spine. A natural progression from 'Tension', this album could have been released in 1981. Even the titles of the songs evoke images of teen-lust, rejection, confusion and the yearning to be loved.Buy it, and play loudly.

- Do it

It's really just not fair how good the Buzzcocks are. From the start they've put out music with bite, insight, and undeniable hooks -- barbs would be a better term! These songs grab you by the skin.

"Isolation," "Palm Of My Hand, "Alive Tonight," the hits just keep coming!

Sonically, TTT could be mixed a little fuller. But that's what volume knobs are for.

- One of the best punk albums of the 90s

As a rule punk rockers usually don't age well. Here the Buzzcocks MATURED well. They presented a grown-up version of their late 70s sound. Other great 90s albums from 70s punks are Iggy's "Brick By Brick", Ramone's "Mondo Bizarro", GG's "Bloodshed & Brutallity For All", the Damned's "Not of This Earth", Misfits' "American Psyhco" and Patti Smith's "Peace & Noise"
