Reviews & Opinions
GARRY BUSHELL, SOUNDS 7.10.78: Wire rip-off early Floyd, 99 rip-off Mott, Alice Cooper, standard HM runs, cliches, progressions - you name it, they've nicked it. Aargh, what can you say, it's not that they're bad, it's just that the album's never worth getting worked up about. Like the song says, "We've heard it all before..."
BEV BRIGGS, RECORD MIRROR, 7.10.78: 250 word thesis on '999 - their new album - how it revolts me and why'. Should be easy, how about...stodgy, uninteresting, unenjoyable, unentertaining, leaden, stale, insipid, dreary, uninspired, wearisome, unvarying, monotonous, cloying, unvarying [he's used that word twice, you know], irksome, SAME, SAME, SAME, and boring to boot? Hey ho.
PUNK 77: Separates was released in 1979. Though reviews of it have it as being a bit duff its impossible for it to be so when it contains songs like Homicide, Feelin Alright With The Crew and the jaunty Rael Rean. Perhaps in an effort to get a hit Martin Rushent (Stranglers and Buzzcocks producer) was brought in and the sound is definitely more polished.
