5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of those albums that will be in your CD player for a loooooooooong time!, September 26, 2005

This review is from: We Are the League (Exp) (Audio CD)

The Anti-Nowhere League is another great classic band and this is a great place to start off with. every song on this album is excellent. The League's goal in the beginning was to make the worst album ever written. even though this is a very excellent album, lyrically, some of you might think that the lyrics are dumb or doesn't make sense. If you like british punk that came from the side of the Clash (Crass, Conflict, Rudimentary Peni, etc. because this was the band that they were influenced by.), then you might want to stay away from this.

This review is from: We Are the League (Exp) (Audio CD)

ANL was one of the dirtiest, most wrotten bands in the English Punk Scene of the 1980s. Musically, they were right up there with the likes of the 4-Skins and Cockney Rejects, as they produced some of the loudest, most aggressive Oi! tracks ever. Lyrically, the band was funnier, and dirtier than most bands at the time, or even today! The band wasn't without their politically or socially conscience side, as seen in tracks like "Streets of London" or the added track "Ballard of J. J. Decay." But the band is, and should be, best remembered for tracks like "Woman," a rude anti-love song, "Animal," a self-loathing number, and probably my favorite "So What?" which is all about being the most disgusting, anti-bragging song ever. A classic album for fans of Macc Lads, Cockney Rejects, or the Exploited.
