- SOMETIMES I GOTTA WRITE

This is a must buy. It baffles me why this has not sold well in America. Imagine a musically superior Doors. An speeded up up John Entwhistle mixed with heavy machinery bassline mixed with anger , venom and a tongue in cheek sexism that a Mr Marshall Mathers would be proud this disc oozes quality . From the opening angry psychedelia of sometimes to the noise of a toilet being flushed the sheer energy and musical brilliance is relentless. Incidently the latter part of Down in the sewer is probably the best classical music ever written with electric instruments. BUY IT NOW !

- Why not get the bonus tracks?

This album is fantastic. It is one of the great early punk classics. However, there is another version of the CD that has some bonus tracks on it, so get that one!

- CLASSIC

A must have if you are a rock n roll fan. I still listen to it now. Every cut is great!The thumping bass, the cheesy yet menacing organ, the blistering guitars, the snarling ...-off vocals. They don't make em like this anymore.

- IT DOES NOT GET BETTER THAN THIS

The best studio album, from the best Band to come out of England ever. Forget the Beatles Stones etc. this is real English working class music from a very angry time in UK history.Buy it or stay listening to that wimpy American rock. We gave you The Stranglers,The Clash, The Jam. You gave us Kiss, Bon Jovi, Bob Seger heavens above do yourselves a favour listen to some real music you won't regret it promise. Cheers Pete-Manchester, England
