The Best Album Ever

"Although this album makes immensely pleasurable listening at the start, repeated listening makes it less enjoyable. Brilliant songs, such as Homosapien, If You Ask Me, but the best song is I Just Wanna Touch.If you can't listen to the Buzzcocks because of the grinding guitars, then listen to this. It's like the Buzzcocks put through a 'make it listenable' box. A synthesiser, in other words.I've got this on vinyl as 'XL-1', and I'm about to get the dub mixes of all the tracks on the ultra-rare tape version of XL-1"

"One of the best albums of all-time in my opinion. No joking. It reminds me of John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band album in its honestness. Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks plays all the instruments. Lyrics are really awesome... e.g., "I've had too much of dreamin'... Gonna keep my eyes wide open... Better not believing than believe what's not true."(Was this review helpful to you?)"
