Hit: 5 Stars
'LAMF' is one of those 'seminal' albums, reverentially whispered about and discussed in hushed, worshipful tones. Laid down as influence to everybody from the Pistols to Snow Patrol and hundreds beyond, but it's a sad, rather disconcerting stat, that here on our very lovely new Amazon pages, it's garnered a paltry 14 reviews,(15 if you count this one, providing I tow the line and don't get all rebellious and start gobbing and swearing) while poser-appeasing nonsense like the hugely disappointing 'London Calling' accumulates a massive 450 or so. There's just no justice in the world.
'LAMF' is a rollicking power-house of an album, a force of nature. Johnny Thunders has an inimitable guitar style (though, significantly, Steve Jones' wall of noise for the Pistols bears noticable resemblance) and here beats the idea to submission.
Ear-tremblingly loud riffing, hotter than molten bitumen. You can gleefully detect slivers of Richards and from further back, little shards of Wray and Berry deep in it's worrying decibels. It's a wrist-slashingly potent statement, as positive and inspiring as all its gleaming ancestors.
'LAMF' transcends stoopid labels like 'punk' and 'new wave'. It's one in the eye for those obsequious, unimaginative squirts obsessed with categorizing and pigeon-holing everything that's not already dispassionately tagged up.
It sounds eerily fresh and new, it still has enough power to re-start a small planet but it appears classier than it's modern offspring. Still manages to be casually, disdainfully more impressive than it's prodigious but regrettably common-or-garden descendants.
Respect to original producer Speedy Keen and re-mixers Jungle Records for making the whole caboodle sound more electrifying than it's ever done. Good lyric booklet too, with useful comments by singer/guitarist Walter Lure.
There's a thought; Lure, Rath, Hell, Thunders - what kind of degenerate would have role-models like these...?
I'd be worried how they turned out....
