It is over.

It was very ordinary and the tracks were seriously lacking in punch.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 2 stars.

Sorry, I just couldn't bear not spelling this minus all the silly French circumflexes and graves.

So, here it as should've'f been:

Start with Ickle Richard - end with Édition Limitée Citroën Chuck 'bathtub-p*ssing' Berry.

I bet there were GR8 songs in there, but the 50s sound and timidity of the production robbed it off all the power.

Didn't this album get all the love because the songs were short, at was the style at the time, "short songs=punk=good" "long songs=prog=bad"

That's way too crunchy and well/over-produced for the MC5.
