Free Music Review: And the Best Punk Album of the Year goes to...
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the best PIL album, hands down. I go so far as to actuallybelieve it to be a better album than any of Lydon's efforts with theSex Pistols. It starts slow and steady with 'Theme', then goes into rant with 'Religion I and II'. The Religion songs, as legend goes, deals with an incident when Lydon's mother was living her last moments on earth. Her final request was to have a priest beside her when the moment finally came so Johnny, leaving his mother's side, goes out in search of a priest and when he finally finds one, the priest is getting smashed in a pub. The drunken priest returns with Johnny to his dying mother, but alas, she's already dead. Perhaps, this incident fuels a lot of the anger and cynicism on this album. In any case, I only relate the priest incident because people who do have problems with this album have them with the Religion songs. By that same token, people who really love this album, including moi, love it because of these same songs. Yet 'Religion' is only icing on the cake. 'Annalisa', 'Public Image', and 'Attack', all have Lydon's characteristic wailing which no doubt made them great, live, punk-rock performances once upon a time. And who can deny oneself the pleasure of 'LowLife'? Before there was 'Loser' there was 'LowLife', a much better song to sing, er, scream, along to. 'Fodderstompf' pays "homage" to the Beatles, paying homage as only punks can. When I first heard this album at my friend's place, the experience stayed with me. I kept hearing the music in my head (I still do) and I had to have the album. Unfortunately, I did not know it was an import and I scavenged every CD rack, always coming up empty, until I went to Amsterdam and found it in a CD shop. When I play this album, I play it at full volume (damn you neighbors!), deriving the same pleasure I get when I listen to music by the Velvet Underground or Sonic Youth. END
