Title: Got to be a die hard fan to listen to this!
Review: Listen, on the surface this pretty much stinks.Sex Pistols was rock music. This is noisy, in your face, purposefully abrasive.However, at the time, it was definitely ground breaking. The guitar playing was avante garde/Sonic Youth before that type of music came into vogue. The bass playing was also innovative."Public Image" is a decent song, "Anastasia" is all right, the rest of the album is headache inducing.The band reached its zenith on 2nd Edition with the cool dub sounds and screaching guitar.In real life, John Lydon is a jerky and abrasive person. This record was not only to isolate himself from the pistols but, it was also giving a middle finger to the public.I saw him live circa 1979. He was terrible, performed behind a screen, and never acknowledged the audience.I do not think that this album was a serious artistic endeavor.
