5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Crass era peace punk band with pop sensibilities.., April 15, 1999

By	Stevo(toohectic@hotmail.com) (Seattle, WA.) - See all my reviews

Zounds is one of the few bands from the Crass era and label to strike out on their own, instead of being another Crass rip-off. I'm hard pressed to pigeon hole Zounds because they hit so many different bases. Always anarcho lyrics, but not always the fierce sonic assault of other Crass era bands. Truly underappreciated anarcho pioneers

5.0 out of 5 stars The Importance of Zounds, January 20, 2004

By	Dustin Tyler Morris (Higley, AZ) - See all my reviews

Zounds were noticably different than the rest of the Crass circuit, yet had the same punk ideals, and a depressed, driving jangly, new-wavish sound to boot. All the songs on this record form a block of strong central themes and it flows with a great concept. The songs are catchy, and make the whole record worth listening to, and the cover is one of my favorites that I've seen. The "fear is a bum thing, a silly and a dumb thing, but it can be the one thing that kicks us in the dark" sticks long after the album is over. They claimed that "there's a new band every week," and it remains true decades later, but Zounds were not just another band. These guys counted for something, and this excellent record is proof. I say give it a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Punk, but so much more.... , September 9, 2005

By	Baggyman "Ageing but active." (Birmingham,England) - See all my reviews

To pigeonhole Zounds as merely 'punk' doesn't do them justice.
They were unafraid to experiment at a time when punk was beginning to stagnate.They wore their hearts on their sleeves, lyrically and artistically.More subtle than Crass, but just as powerful, this album has been an 'underground' classic for almost 25 years.Just buy the damn thing will ya!!
