5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless, Brilliant, and Amazing Masterpiece 9 Jun 2013
By Wally@TBM
Format:Audio CD
Maybe they will never be as big as the Beatles, but their influence on popular music is far reaching and they paved the way for many bands that came after them. Whether you like 60's pop, mod, freakbeat, indie guitar jangle, twee or psychpop, you'll find something to treasure in this album. When it came out it was out of step with much of what was being listened to the time and when I first heard it it was like nothing else I had heard of, strange but at the same time beautiful and it made a lasting impression. They have also inspired many to start a band, start a label, or just plain diy. Their songs are timeless, with a british flair and an honesty and insight that rivals some of the greatest song writers of all time. They inspired me to start a label and do a 10 volume tribute to them and the list of bands who have already done covers of their songs is lengthy one. As Alan McGee once said, without them there would be no Creation, and I would go as far as saying that the musical landscape was changed forever because of them. If you have never heard them you really are missing out. Do some research and listen to some of their albums (The Painted Word, Mummy You're Not Watching Me, Privilege, etc.), you will love them or hate them but either way they will change your life.

Then go discover Edward Ball and The Times ...

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Album Ever 30 Jan 2003
By Robert Keith - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is my absolute favorite album in the world. I rank it above Forever Changes, Sgt. Pepper, and the Velvet Underground and Nico. If you like mid-60s pop by the Beatles, Velvets, the Who and the Kinks - this 1980 album will be a brilliant addition to your collection. Be warned - it's quirky. It was recorded on 4 track, isn't amazingly hi-fi, and has plenty of spooky reverb. Many of the best songs are upbeat, with updated neurotic lyrics and music by Dan Treacy. It has a sweetness, spirit and distance that has rarely been captured on record.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Kid Loves It 14 Aug 2008
By Page Scott - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Wait a second, why is there only one other review for this album?! I don't know if it's my ultimate favorite (that's a hard choice), but it's definitely in my top 5 of all-time favorite albums. I first learned about it as the album that inspired indiepop as a genre. And when you hear the record, that's understandable. It has a mixture of punk and pop sensibilities that blend seamlessly and give rise to a sound that was, apparently, unique at the time. "And Don't the Kids..." proves that you don't need expensive equipment or complicated techniques to create music that will stand the test of time. Even though most of the songs have a pop culture theme, there's something really emotionally moving about the album that I can't adequately describe.
When you're done listening, you'll want to either listen again or pick up a guitar. You owe it to yourself to check out this classic.
