Simply awsome punk

"This must be at least one of the 5 best punk albums ever. Back in 1970s, the Damned were one of the first bands to do punk. Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Bad Religion, all influenced by this great band. Get this album, now. Best song, definately Smash it Up. Plan 7, Channel 9 proves that Captain Sensible is the best punk guitarist ever. Really. Great bass from Ward, especially on Love Song."
LIKE BEING SHOT WITH A MACHINE GUN... POLITELY!!!

"As the name implies, this album is like getting riddled full of bullet holes, but you don't really mind because the culprit does it with class and style and charms you to death first. The Damned had refined their punk onslaught on this platter, mixing bombastic rat-a-tat punk with sing-along melodies, psychedelic organ, and ambitious song structures. The Damned sound as nihilistic as any of their contemporaries on this album, but you have to give them the edge: whereas the Clash sounded like they want to take over the world with their political rhetoric, the Damned sound like the world's exploding, and they're the evil clowns hired to entertain at our last big shindig. This could be the single best punk album to come out of the 70's... absolutely smashing. Standout tracks include "I Just Can't Be Happy Today", "Love Song", "Machine Gun Etiquette"."
