I happen to disagree with Jed, the reviewer above, but I think lots of people may agree with him. He is right about one thing, which is that it does sound like an album made in 1989, which to me is an album that crosses over between sophisticated arrangements and slightly chincey arrangements. It seems like quite a few albums did come out like that, but for me and many, the late 80's were a weak spot in the rock genre anyway. If you can put that aside, you can really start to see that this album was mixed, arranged, and written the way it should have been. I do mean that in a complimentary way. If you like the PiL vibe itself, you'll probably like this album all the way through. If you like only a couple PiL songs, you will probably only like Happy and Disappointed, maybe a few others. I do actually like Lydon's ostentatiousness, in his singing and as a person, and if you don't, then you are probably creepy anyway.
