Marvellous - no need to say more.
I first saw NMA in Leeds supporting Billy Bragg at Tiffany's night club in about 1982 and immediately got hooked. This lot have never done anything wrong - although I always thought that 'Vengeance' was a bit dodgy whatever the sentiment.
Keep it coming boys - let's hope the next 20 years are every bit as good!
This album though is a gem - Poison Street is one of my favourite tracks from anyone and has converted many people who I know who have not thought they would like NMA into die hard fans

I'm writing this review to try and increase the score for this abum, unashamedly. A previous reviewer gave it 3 against a 5 for the LATER album Thunder and Consolation. My point is that Cain is NMA's 3rd album, T&C later. So, cain is a historical document and should not be judged against later recordings. Cain follows on from Vengence and No Rest, never letting up in the lyrical intensity but it does begin to demonstrate the bands expanding musical ambition.
The raw punk is still there; The Hunt, The Lights Go Out, Western Dreams and the sublime Master Race, mixed with the reflective, Ballad, and perhaps a hint of the punk-folk to come; 51st State, Poison St and Love Songs.
So, if you are serious about exploring what I think to be the greatest band these islands have produced, go back to the begining and enjoy the rollercoaster that I and many others have been on for the last 28 years. Also, go see 'em live.
Theres always somthing new to fall in love with.

There is not one weak song on this album IMHO. Lyrically thought provoking, musically inspiring and sung with passion and commitment. It ranges from the slow but hair-raising lament of Ballad to the high energy blast of Poison Street. I would place this in my all time top ten albums without a second's hesitation. Genius......
