Stranglers IV (Rattus Norvegicus) cover art

Standing slightly apart from the initial wave of UK punk due to their older age and prominent use of swirling keyboards, The Stranglers delivered a sneering, highly aggressive debut. 'Rattus Norvegicus' pairs intensely rhythmic, remarkably raw basslines with deeply sarcastic, often proudly vulgar lyrical tales of urban decay and seedy rebellion.
