5.0 out of 5 stars The Classic, July 29, 2000

CWB (CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crossing the Red Sea (Audio CD)

This is the finest single album to come out of the '77 school of brit punk rock...and there were some darn good ones, for that matter. The production sounds a bit tinny, the drumming is stiff, the instrumentation is amateurish...but in spite of all that the songs convey desperation, excitement, anger, strangeness, and energy like few othe records I've ever heard. Plus the songwriting is great...tune after tune, each song sounds totally original and is totally -stick-in-your-head catchy. Brilliant. Buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential British Punk Rock, October 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Crossing the Red Sea (Audio CD)

This is a seriously under-rated album.It was in 1977 and it is still tragically now.There are no bad tracks and loads of early punk classics.TV Smith can actually sing which is a bonus and the album flows from start to finish.Get an Attitude find what it was all about.Go on I dare you!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great album, but I recommend Cast of Thousands instead, August 4, 2005

The Adverts are by far one of the greatest punk bands to emerge from the whole 70's scene, and yet are so overshadowed by other "big" name punk bands. If you like old punk you have to own an Adverts album, however, I would recommend buying Cast of Thousands if you're going to pick one. The songs are more varied (in my opinion) and pretty much every song on the album is indispensable and brilliant.
