Forgotten Classic of '77 Punk,
By BrainDrain (Oshkosh, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Further Temptations (Audio CD)
I've been waiting ages for this CD, and to my profound joy it's not just their brilliant Further Temptations album, but their entire discography!The Drones had a hard-charging and somewhat more professional sound than the other Brit-punk bands of '77. They also show a good range. Persecution Complex and Movement are full-bore rockers, while City Drones is more melodic, and Sad So Sad features the kind of football-chant chorus that became emblematic of British punk. The CD contains the very well-produced Further Temptations album and uses its famous 'blue girl' cover (worth the price of admission by itself!), along with the earlier ep Temptations of a White Collar Worker, which has terrible production and, in the anthemic You'll Lose, remarkably obnoxious lyrics. The CD ends with the Can't See single, which walks a thin line between being really cool and sucking really hard. It was their attempt to remake themselves as a pop band, which obviously failed. Unfortunately, we don't know why it failed since there is no retrospective included in this compilation. This is a sinful omission given the high quality and historical importance of this CD, but don't let that stop you from enjoying one of the finest Brit-punk albums of 1977. |
