Without doubt Ash's best album, and possibly one of the very best of the 90's. There simply isn't one bad track on this album, and the singles are all class. "Girl from Mars" and "Kung Fu" are their finest songs, although everything else here isn't far off this quality.
There's no opportunity for the album to become too samey, as ballad often follows punk-esque thrash, regulating the pace, and improving the overall sound structure. And if you happen to be up for a laugh, wait until the very end of "Darkside Lightside" for what is described on the inlay card as "Sick Party".
Overall, this album comes pretty damn close to perfection, and if you've only heard the latest singles, this is the best album to start you off. Sheer brilliance.

ash,when this was released were a young punky band with an ear for a single,this album was packed with top 40 singles such was their ability to get into the head of the average person,this is their debut album and isnt as scuzzy as their debut ep,but still has a nice rock feel to it,tim wheelers voice never screamed and for that i suppose lay the key to the albums success.It certainly seems like yesterday since i bought this but in fact it was ten years ago,and although the sound of this album may have suffered slightly over the years its still a landmark album for the group who have released single after single since,and while some of their albums since havent delivered,this is still the benchmark that they need to revisit.
The albums title is a reference to the year that two members of the band were born and the release of star wars,and its no surprise that the album has a few star wars references,not that im a fan of the star wars series but hey it pays to know a thing or two.
Like i said the album is packed with feel good ,sing a long moments such as the classic kung fu,goldfinger(what a song),girl from mars,gone the dream,oh yeah,lost in you,darkside,lightside.Its an album that is easy to take too as its simplistic poppy rock with good hooks,the album has one poor song if im to be a fair reviewer, and thats innocent smile which is pretty poor and i usually skip it if the truth be told,but all in all this isnt an album that challenges the bounaries of music but its an album of sheer enjoyment.

Buzzing with youthful energy, Ash burst out of the traps at the height of Britpop with this debut. Named after the year Star Wars was released, 1977 begins with the sounds of an X-wing fighter plane soaring off into space. What follows is a variable collection of pop songs packed with oceans of guitar and blurred production. Tracks like Kung Fu, with it's aimless ramblings on the subjects of Jackie Chan and Fu Man Chu, betray the occasionally banal side of singer/lyricist Tim Wheeler's muse. Others, such as I'd Give You Anything and Lose Control, contain great rock riffs and creatively disorganised guitar solos, but little in the way of lyrical enlightenment. However, these minor imperfections are overshadowed by some of the murky brilliance this record contains. Take the wonderfully innocent Girls From Mars, for example; a warming tale of summer love, featuring the amusing choral couplet "We'd stay up late playing cards/Henri Winterman cigars". At first these observations seem ridiculous, but after repeat listening they acquire a certain charm. Oh Yeah is almost the in the same vein, yet far more hormonal, far less mysterious, and even better. Completed by evocative female backing vocals, Wheeler's teenage love anthem is the best thing on the album. Other delights include the riff-laden rock of Goldfinger and even a Christmas song, Angel Interceptor. An intriguing beginning for the Irish band.

I ordered the CD and it came 2 days later. Safely rapped up and in first class condition. Well done.

Yes indeed a great album. But not as good as the previous mini album "trailer". the best thing ash have ever done, if you get a chance to buy the "uncle pat" single, buy it. Read more

1977
A total classic. This is the album that Ash are trying to get back to with their most recent LP ('Free All Angels') after the slightly dissapointing 'Nu-Clear Sounds'. Read more
