Title: Not their best but still interesting
Product review: I would be hard-pressed to single out best songs on this record. For all their claims of it being uneven, my fellow reviewers almost cover the full spectrum of the album when citing the 'good cuts', the only three songs ignored so far being 'Punch & Judy', 'Souls' and 'Mad Hatter'. And even these three songs have very interesting constructions.While it is undeniable that their music took a turn in the eighties, accusing the Stranglers of a bland sound is exaggerated, and that any other band could have made this album is fallacious. The proof is their distinctive sound and style: any song on that album can unmistakenly be identified as a Stranglers song.In short, if you're new to the Stranglers there are other places to start (Raven for their early period, Feline for their new wave style), but if you already own a few records from them you should check out this underrated album.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
