Brilliant post-punk

(5 out of 5 stars)
"After a minor line-up change, the Newtown Neurotics shortened their name to just The Neurotics and came out with "Repercussions," more complex and mellow than their first lp ("Beggars can be choosers"), but with the same passion and politics. This cd also includes the Neurotics last record, "Is Your Washroom Breeding Bolsheviks?," a very mellow record with some real high points, but probably the Neurotics least inspiring recordings on the whole. This cd also includes an instrumental version of the last neurotics single, "Never Thought"--but it seems pointless since the greatness of the Neurotics is in the lyrics. Overall, this is a good deal (2 records on 1 cd) and the long out of print "Reprecussions" is well worth the money. Still awaiting "Kickstarting a backfiring Nation" and the Indestructible Beat on CD
You'll like this cd if you like any of the following: Billy Bragg, The Jam's "Setting Sons," Stiff Little Fingers, Attila the Stockbroker, Housemartins, Redskins, the first two Clash records, etc."
