Album Notes & Community Reviews

Juxtaposing pristine, melodic guitar pop with fiercely uncompromising Marxist lyrics, the group's sophomore outing sharpens their attacks on Thatcherite capitalism. The album serves as a crucial political text within the C86 movement, deeply influencing subsequent ideologically-driven indie acts like Manic Street Preachers.
