4.0 out of 5 stars Articulate Eighties Politi-rock, 26 Nov 2004

By A Customer

It has taken me 10 years to actually buy an Alarm record, despite being a huge punk and new wave fan and i'm amazed at how good this album is!
Mike Peters has always been someone I respected but the clarity of his vocals, the brilliant flowing lyrics and the robust angst-rock sound make this an absolute classic.
The big hit " Spirit of 76" is an epic, nostalgic tribute to the punk glory days which inspired the band, "Dawn Chorus" is a mix of folky verses and anthmenic choruses whilst "The Day The Ravens Left The Tower" is my favourite..with portentous lyrics..images of faraway london burning ( if you are from North Wales) and a nursery rhyme ending.
Serious political lyrics,reflections on the wasteland of Thatcher's Eighties for Northern Britain and a strong melodic depth make this an exhilirating listen.
Compared to their contemparies, with hindsight, I would say that Peters has far more to offer than the smug,preening Bono and this album is better than anything Ian Maculloch offered too!.
Buy this and bask in a bitter-sweet celtic twilight!
