Eternally Yours

I had never heard of this band, but I really enjoyed this one. Fun, fast and loud.

Having been only exposed to their debut '(I'm) Stranded', I felt sort of underwhelmed by their work, feeling like their ideas did not fully stick. This is not the case with their follow-up record, which I found to be much more dynamic and ultimately ended up being much more interesting than the average punk album on the list.

8/10 [KEEP]

hooray that was fun after about 10000 monotone depression rock albums

Straya

Eh, it sounds like all the other brit punk bands that it obviously influenced, which is a complement and a condemnation in one.

Never heard of this before. Punk but with a horn section for some songs, ya, it actually works, I enjoyed this album.

A very meh punk album. Not too many stand out moments but not offensive. 2.4/5 -> 2/5

Well well well. If there's anyone I didn't expect to find on 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die it's Algy Ward! The same Algy Ward who founded Tank, the loudest band I have ever seen live.
This Saints album is altogether a little more restrained and even melodic in places.

By 1978, punk rock had actually already run its course in the UK, but the shockwaves of the movement and its music (though ‘punk’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘punk rock’, but that’s another matter) were sweeping across the world and had evidently reached Australia by 1978 as well. And so ‘Eternally Yours’ by The Saints sounds just like the tracks that were already being successfully marketed by the major record labels at the time. I’m certainly no expert, but the brash attitude and simple music naturally bring to mind the Sex Pistols or the Ramones, without quite matching their raw energy. Terrible music. No matter how noble and important the punk scene’s cause was, the music is unbearable. Even more unbearable is the digital version, which, alongside the regular album, contains the same noise – only in poorer sound quality – as “International Robot Sessions” as bonus tracks.

Pues para sorpresa mía, me gustó mucho el álbum. Es un rock que soporto y que dan ganas de mover la cabeza todo el tiempo.

El album es muy repetitivo, me atraparon maximo 3 pistas, creo que tantas pistas era innecesario mas considerando que casi ninguna te atrapa y son repetitivas. Me gusta los géneros que maneja el album pero este album no es de lo mejor que hay.

Glossy punk

dum diddy dum diddy dum dum dum

Huge stooges influence and I like that. The production on this is incredible for a 70s punk album.

Favorite track(s): Know Your Product, Lost and Found, No, Your Product, Orstralia

I think I’m being generous giving this three stars. It made pretty much zero impression. Very meh. But if I paid closer attention, it probably would bug me a little more. The guy’s voice is not pleasant. So true grade likely would be closer to 2.5.

it's fun. 3.5

ou, pior que achei esse bão DEMAIS hein

punkzim com uma pegada de garage rock de ótima qualidade pqp. doideira demais, só barulheira boa e me pareceu até bem influente.
tem umas pitadinhas de post-punk aqui no meio. dá até pra fragar um violent femmes tbm. e mesmo assim nao perde a velocidade do punk não. legal demais!!

This is a wee little album! It’s at its best when the band sticks to the punk rulebook and adds flourishes of addictive melodies (the obvious highlights like the opener, “Private Affair”). When the tempo slows down, the songs should, in theory, feel like welcome breathers, but oddly this reveals some repetitiveness that doesn’t work in the band’s favour (“A Minor Aversion”). There’s some neat Stooges worship here and there, but it’s the Saints’ knack for memorable songs that lets them stand on their own. With this, the Saints created something really fun and worth revisiting. I’m actually surprised that you don’t see their name pop up more often—maybe I’m overrating this a bit, but I’m having a great time spinning it.

It was punk and glam in the wrong ways. I did not care for it so much. Not bad. Not good.
