    Truly one of the best albums of the late 1970s. Everything I ever wanted out of punk and more. Alien Soundtracks is also Superb and deserves recognition. Chrome one of the best to ever do it.

      Wow! Great album like no other.
      Just got this first press, sounds awesome,
      Listening to it for the first time, now I see it was
      actually mastered by Bernie Grundman!

        CHROME "Half Machine Lip Moves" (79)
        ...i heard this album already in 1979, but did not care further until spring
        2005, when i had an amazing "comeback" with chrome & their frontman damon
        edge, who died already 1995 under mysterious circumstances. profound
        visionary stuff, every minute changing the attitude. hawkwind, faust, can,
        gong, pil, fad gadget, pere ubu, cabaret voltaire & suicide comes to mind.
        listen to the middle section of track 7 abstract nympho: sounding like a great
        gimmick-caricature of mick jagger...
