4.0 out of 5 stars Girl punk starts here, 17 Aug 2007
If you like Bikini Kill, Be Your Own Pet, yeah yeah yeahs, well, they wouldn't exist without this album. Much as the other reviewer don't like Polly Styrene's vocals, they've sure been influential, becoming the standard for girl punk yelping. The difference with the Spex is that they always let you know they were having fun, more than they were raging. See old clips of them, they're smiling, not spitting. The lyrics are funny, the kind of pop culture trash that the B-52s and early Blondie were also into. The difference is that X Ray Spex were British, and they were self aware enough to make fun of themselves as much as anyone else. forget clash, sex pistols, no one wants to sound like them today, the really influential punk groups were this lot, Ramones, Buzzcocks, Undertones and TV personalities - their influence is still widespread.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great band, shame about the singer, 2 Oct 2006
By D. J. H. Thorn "davethorn13" (Hull, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
In their day, X-Ray-Spex were one of the more acclaimed punk bands, despite their album not arriving unil 1978, by which time the genre was starting to fade into the rest of New Wave. Singer Poly Styrene was an outspoken figure, claiming on a Radio One interview that some so-called punk bands were merely bandwagon jumpers. Later, the NME published a glossy publicity shot that they claimed was of the singer in her days as a would-be disco diva. It's hard to imagine listening to this though. Perfecting her best Johnny Rotten impression, her problem was that her band was so loud and heavy that it was as much as she could do to wail over the top of the music.

Her band, it must be said, were dynamite, all downtuned guitars, bleating sax and sheer power. As with most punk bands they're better listened to in short bursts as many of the songs tend to merge into one another. There are some great, witty lyrics (if you can make them out) though the general tone is punk's usual cynicism and pessimism, with non-conformism paraded up and down the album. A lively album then, but a touch samey.
