Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah I definitely hear the punk here. Post-punk is a fair adjective. I was on track to 4 it but its a little long for the content there. Later half starts to drag a little.

Album Rating: 5.0

The older I get and the three or four thousandth time I listen to this album from start to finish the more I think it might be my favorite album ever, as well as the best of the entire first wave of punk. The impact and influence this had on the genre and culture cannot be expressed enough, to me this is the album that legitimized the entire genre and culture of punk as something more than just a passing fad or trend. And to this day, there isn't a song on here I skip. And the highs are about as high as any band punk or not hit in the 70s. Like, man, Guns of Brixton? Pure, absolute genius.
