Old Tommy Knockers had a lot of nerve slagging of Glen Matlock for being an old fart muso...

I don't think time has been kind.
Rise is still GR8 though.

Right on cue...
Hideous live version of Kashmir as a bonus track.

Maybe it would have worked better as a John Lydon solo album?
I never got around to listening to a Psycho's Path.
That's what happens if you only release something on CD.

It is over.
I must confess I enjoyed that, thanks to the totally tasteless drumming and guitarring but can't help feel John Lydon was out of place. I do suspect the rest of them would've been happier if they'd replaced him with Robert Palmer and released it as a Power Station album.
Now to look back over the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

I had to give it 3, otherwise what could I give 9?
9 was ok, at least compared to 'That What Is Not'

This is ok I guess. That clicky-clicky rhythm guitar, does that really need to be everywhere?
They're much better.

Re: Public Image Ltd. - Album (1986)
I didn't enjoy that very much at all.
That said, I never enjoyed any PIL albums really.
That's not the point though.
They weren't really ever designed to be an entertaining band - rather an audaciously original and uncompromising one.
Very dynamic, very hard-edged musically and snidely amusing and oblique lyrically.
This however was largely unenjoyable in the wrong kind of way.
I have some of Laswell's stuff - as well as some of the side-projects and associated band's material - but I've never been able to love any of it.
Most of it is essentially like the meticulously overwrought art-jazz-fusion of the '70s, but with a horrible '80s aural aesthetic.
The worst of both worlds.
And Little Sammy Snotbox lets them all in the studio under the guise of being PIL.
A bunch of c***s trying?
A bunch of w*nkers trying too hard more like.

Re: Public Image Ltd. - Album (1986)
Possibly my fav. group for a time, when I was, err... young.
The ones after this one were err... In some way if they'd never released Metal box and Flowers of Romance would have been fine quirky alt-rockers, but they could have done so much better.
I kinda liked the comeback one, but in the same way Red Dwarf returns on Dave were better than series 8 and 9, they were like the good ones in tone and intent. I mean they weren't any good, but they got by being like the good one.
Not heard the last album, I got put off by that cover of Lucifer Sam that got retitled as 'Betty Page'.
