Punk, in its classic Brit manifestation, doesn't get any better than this. Powerhouse guitars and strong hooks galore, of course. But what makes this album a masterpiece is Polly Styrene's lyrics -- there's more telling commentary on the dehumanizing aspects of modern civilization in any randomly selected verse of hers than in the entire oeuvre of Roger Waters (and ten times as much humor). And she sings like a human howitzer. The influential critic Greil Marcus once listed this as the greatest record of all time, period; that's not an unreasonable opinion. So buy it!. Eric M VAN. I just thought I would slip this one in. In memory of POLY STYRENE God bless her she was a star and will be sadly missed
