Album Notes & Community Reviews

Releasing their second album in the very same year as their debut, John Foxx's Ultravox! pushed their sound into significantly harsher, more abrasive post-punk territory. 'Ha! Ha! Ha!' is a wonderfully quirky, intensely rhythmic avant-garde rock record, marrying fiercely energetic, sarcastic punk guitars with wildly anxious, futuristic synthesizer noise.
