Entertainment Reviews:

Spin - p.58

Ranked #7 in Spin's "The 10 Best Reissues of 2006" -- "These 21 squalling miniatures are post-punk's first great bow shot."

Spin - 5/01, p.108

Ranked #2 in Spin's "50 Most Essential Punk Records" - "...Britain's Ramones....Call it the birth of art-punk: oblique, corrosive, itchy-catchy microsongs by pissy outsiders..."

Q - 5/02 SE, p.144

Included in Q's "100 Best Punk Albums".

Q - 9/94, p.131

3 Stars - Good - "...as tight and covertly tuneful as The Buzzcocks, minus the hormonal longing....Cheap, but never dumb..."

Uncut - p.106

5 stars out of 5 -- "Big-Bang-like in its density, and already pregnant with the possibilities they would later realise....Brilliantly devised..."

Magnet - p.91

"The distilled melodies, cast-iron guitar tones and ultra-basic rhythms hold up today better than almost anything else from the class of '77..."

Mojo (Publisher) - 3/03, p.76

Ranked #24 in Mojo's "Top 50 Punk Albums" - "...Their debut sounded like nothing before - sparse, nervy, emotionally repressed, full of memorable hooks..."

NME (Magazine) - 9/18/93, p.19

Ranked #31 in NME's list of the 'Greatest Albums Of The '70s.'

NME (Magazine) - 10/2/93, p.29
