5.0 out of 5 stars Ah, sweet memories...., 11 Aug 2005
By John David Charles Hilton "Creative spark...." (Redcliffe, Bristol United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The Buzzcocks encapsulated one aspect of punk, the return to short, snappy pop songs. And this album is chock full of them, including some of the very best examples; be it the opening Orgasm Addict or the perfect pop of Ever Fallen in Love (forget Fine Young Cannibals awful take.. here is the real thing).

This is an album for playing when you want to have a good time. It doesn't have the politics or anger that set the Clash apart, or the Sex Pistols spiteful rage, instead it has loads of great three minute, straight forward pop masterpieces.

The only track which doesn't quite work is I Beleive, which is far too long and outstays its welcome, it was the sound of the band losing the plot and forgetting what they were good at. The reformed Buzzcocks are still going strong last time I heard but this is where all those memories lie. Of other bands around at the time, only early Undertones come close to matching these gems for sheer adolescent energy...

The sound is distinctive, it still sounds like it was mixed to be played on transistor radios and all the better for it. This sort of music doesn't wear the niceties of hifi production well. It sounds best with this bouyant almost tinny sound. It won't give your hifi a work out, but then that wasn't what it was recorded for. If you want booming bass or intricate muscianship, look elsewhere. If you want joyous, three minute rock/pop anthems, then this collection is your man.

If you're a forty something harking back to the punk/post punk era for a reminder of those times, then this collection should do just nicely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of the BEST BAND EVER, 8 Jul 2001
This review is from: Operators Manual (Audio CD)
Great collection of almost all of the Buzzcocks best songs. Buy this to discover (or, like I did, re-discover) the genius of the Buzzcocks, including such sublime masterpieces as Everybody's Happy Nowadays, Noise Annoys, Orgasm Addict, ... well almost every track is a masterpiece actually. (Buy the classic EP Spiral Scratch, with Howard Devoto, too)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 16 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Operators Manual (Audio CD)
A stunning collection of songs,i would only fault it on the basis that some of my personal favourites are not included.Every home should have one..and everything else they did in the late 70s/early 80s.One of the greatest bands ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pioneers of Punk/Power pop still going strong
If there was ever a band that deserve more recognition as pioneers for some of the best guitar bands over the last twenty years it has to be the Buzzcocks. Read more
