A Real Gem 21 July 2004
By steve
Format:Audio CD
The first Album i ever bought. A wide eyed young boy , who played this Album over and over and over again."Antmusic" "Dog Eat Dog" , real songs that make the hairs on your neck stand to attention (If you have taste..) Now in CD form this Album STILL sounds good today.Were Adam And The Ants ever given the real credit they deserved ? i don't think so. A true masterclass in Post Punk / Pop. Buy it , now....

Quite simply, a perfect album given the perfect reissue treatment (both remastered sound and stunning packaging) - full marks Marco Pirroni, Chris Hughes, Mark Alleyne and Columbia!!

Like many other 30-somethings I lived and breathed this album in 1980, and it's part of my musical history...it now has the CD release it deserves, and retains all of its mystery and majesty. "Magnificent Five", "Ants Invasion", "Killer In The Home" and "Kings" itself are the highlights, but everything here is special enough to sound like nothing you've heard before.

At this price it's a must-buy - full marks to Columbia for getting behind this project and re-releasing a true classic.

Well here's a thing, who would have thought this album would have stood the test of time so well? But then again the Ants did incorporate tribal drumming before virtually anyone else, spaghetti western guitar before Morricone became hip, yodelly/yelpy vocal bits before Morrissey, and (okay I'm starting it to stretch a bit) background vocals chanted in unison before Gregorian chant was rediscovered. There's also some African sounding ringing guitar in there on 'Don't Be Square (Be There)' and then there's the sea shanty of 'Jolly Roger'. But it's the sheer songwriting smarts and enthusiasm that are staggering. Whilst the most celebrated bands of the early noughties (Franz Ferdinand, TV On The Radio, The Rapture etc) indulge themselves with post punk/no wave jerkiness and/or Beefheartian squall, Adam and Marco Pironni managed to incorporate weird elements and still make uncontrived, singalong, danceable records that did actually manage to bother the charts. They also created and referenced their own mythology in the actual songs ('Antmusic', 'Ants Invasion') and that's before we even start on their visual image. Oh, and with its enduring Wild West theme, does this count as one of the first punk/new wave concept albums? What more could you want from a group? A sense of humour? Yes, that's there too. A special mention has to be go to Marco Pirroni for this reissue, the remaster sounds brilliant, the package is lovingly collated and the bonus tracks are the icing on the cake.

When my hard rocking friends found out I bought this album back in 81, I received quite a lot of stick. I could see their point. Read more

Blast from the past
A wonderful jaunt down memory lane. If you get a chance to see Adam Ant play live sometime soon, do it, you won't be disappointed.

And that's how it's done....
It's hard to pinpoint where this band fits in with the then-slow crawl towards the New Wave era so I won't bother, because really this is post-punk at its best and most different,... Read more
