Complete and utter shite

The Sound of Young Scotland and a work of genius. The tribute solo to the buzzcocks would add an additional five.

Only because zero is not an option

A band to see down the pub, but otherwise forgettable.

Great, but his previous album is even better.

Because there is no zero

When I was as a teenager I was given a copy of this, which I listened to once. I didn’t get it, I’d already heard Robert Johnson, Big Mama Thornton, Mahalia Jackson, and countless others. It was derivative shite in 1969, now sounds exactly what it is, sad dad nonce rock.

Sublime

Punk was dead by 1979, there is no reason this album should be held in any respect, rehashing at least 4 year old tropes.

Because 0 is not an option

Sounds like a really bad bar band, the organ lowers it even more, adding a bit of MOR lounge, and that’s without mentioning the singer.

Forgettable

What the nice kids thought was edgy - but meanwhile, in the garage…..

Sugary enough to cause a diabetic coma

Apart from the first track, not good

I did try, but it’s really not very good, at best poor. I listened to some Urban Voodoo Machine afterwards to make myself feel much better.

Bland to the point of mumfordness

Very bland, a waste.

Derivative shite

The Sex Pistols, like most original punk bands were a singles band. The first three singles were magnificent. The rest was pretty dire, sub Stooges noise. The bootleg album (which was available before this) has a rougher mix, and sounds better. I don’t think I’ve played this right through since the day I bought in 77. Listening again, apart from the singles, it’s really not very good.
