Customer Reviews:

different but good.......2003-01-26

I first got this album after hearing the song "How Much Longer", I loved it so I thought I would check the album out. When got it and started listening to it I was a bit suprised and skeptical at first (i mean the first track really isn't even a song). But as I listened to it more and more the more I began to like it. Not all the songs were what I would have expected them to be but some of their weirder stuff is really great! Highlights Include: How Much Longer, Life, Love Lies Limp, Another Coke, Good Times, You Bastard, Action Time Vision, Why Don't You Do Me Right, Life After Life, Spitting In Two, and Viva La Rock and Roll (as you can see I really like this album). This album might not be for every punk fan seeing as how it goes way out of the lines of classic style punk but if you like post-punk like experimentation and 77' style punk you might want to check out this album.

Classic slice of Punk History!.......2002-03-29

You are sitting in your small room but your mind is like a ballroom!

Alternative Television are a hard band to categorise, born in the punk era, but influenced by a wide variety of styles. This is their ground breaking first LP. Although not that well known, it has definitely stood the test of time! It features a mixture of live and studio material, inter-spliced with samples and experimentation, eclectic rhythms, reggae, and even a great cover version of "Why don't you do me right?" (By Frank Zappa). The album not only captures the mood of the times but is a must for any alternative music fan.

This is one of the reasons I don't understand why it doesn't get the respect and recognition that it thoroughly deserves. It's a classic slice of music history, punk history and the musical melting pot that was happening during the late seventies. Highlights include Good Times, Still Life and Viva La Rock `n' Roll (which features a youthful Jools Holland). The CD release also includes all the relevant 7" singles the band cut at around the same time, plus a couple of alternate takes. All in all this is a great re-issue! The album sounds just as fresh today as it did the first time I heard it.

This has to be one of the most important records to come out of the punk era so if you are into the Pop Group, PIL, Can, The Fall, Zappa, Beefheart, Pere Ubu etc then you need to own a copy of this album. You will not regret buying this!
