This is the punk band per excellence and probably the best quality one. With this LP they revealed themselves as "something more" than a punk band with the ability to give their compositions a more elaborate musical touch than the Sex Pistols or the Ramones themselves.
Captain Sensible plays the guitar very well and masters the guitar pedals to achieve different effects that go beyond the typical distortion plus chorus or reverb. There is more musical richness in the compositions without losing a bit of the strength, the grit and the madness that they had inside. The bass work is tremendous and Vanian's vocals sound as always soaring.
The production is poor as befits similar punk albums of the time but it sounds dirty and messy, which gives it its charm.
A great album from the band whose Police drummer Copeland claimed to have taken Sting to a Damned gig to learn what rock was all about, once he saw that he couldn't get out of the jazz chords he had mastered.
