Excerpts
“When people talk about a revival, what they really mean is somebody comes along and takes exactly what there was in the early '60s and copies it. So they are wrong and I suggest that they get themselves together and actually listen to the record, instead of making vague statements.”
Pauline Black, The Selecter, page 14
“The debut album from what may become one of the most important groups on the scene today. On this album they capture the feel of early Roxy Music and (dare I say it) David Bowie. They are an intelligent band, skirting the trends and coming out with music that has a message.”
The Psychedelic Furs review, page 25
“There is still a part of Johnny Rotten in his performances, evident as he stalked the stage and crooned and wailed through songs from the first and second albums, including "Poptones," "Attack," "Swan Lake," "Memories," and "Bad Baby.”
