Album DescriptionOne of the great Australian albums of the 1980s, Blind Ear was the Celibate Rifles at their riff-crazed, wry-humoured and rocking best. Filled to the gills with killer lyrics from Lovelock and matched by some heavenly licks from Steedman, the Rifles' sixth album mixes political songs (Belfast, El Salvador) with environmenal rants (They're Killing Us All, Fish and Trees) and wicked social commentary (It's A Wonderful Life, O Salvation) and never loses its verve. Kurt Cobain liked this album so much he poached the riff from the TV psychosis epic Electravision Mantra and used it for a little tune called "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
