Public Image

There's thoughtful critique of religion and then there's cringey shouting. John Lydon wouldn't know nuance if he stepped in it.

Just like Public Image Ltd.'s later record, i wasn't really a fan of Public Image: First Issue. To give this album credit, it is better than Metal Box but only slightly. The songs here have a bit more variety and don't go on for nearly as long as the other one but it still suffers from a lot of the same issues. A lot of these songs just feel incredibly self-indulgent especially that last one where there was a fire extinguisher solo and Elmo was also hired to do some of the vocals. This self-indulgent nature made this album quite annoying to listen to. It is a shame i have to rate this pretty low too since there are glimpses of good musicianship in here, It's just buried underneath this self-indulgent crap.
Best Song: Public Image
Worst Song: Theme

Had never heard of this. Started it blind, thought this sounds like Sex Pistols. Then looked it up, ohhhh, haha. Anyway, ya, it's some good stuff, challenging.

Interesting early post-punk. Vocals are a bit grating if I'm being honest but I enjoy the themes of the album.
