Another Solid Effort From A Great Band
Buzzcocks are amazing. After more than 35 years they are still producing great music. OK, so they peaked a few years back with their self-titled album but they have not dropped off much since then and there is not much to fault here, that's for sure.Interestingly, the song order is one Shelley song, one Diggle song all the way through and, whilst their styles are quite different, they always manage to sound like Buzzcocks so it works really well. The strongest songs come first but, again, there is not much drop-off as the album continues. Highlights for me are Diggle's People are Strange and Shelley's Keep on Believing but there is not a dud here. Pushing 60 these guys still rock harder than almost anyone and the production here is great, too.I used to be one of those fans who thought that Buzzcocks WERE their first three albums but I've come to realise they are really one of the most consistently great bands of our time. If you ever liked a Buzzcocks song, you're bound to enjoy this album.

Decent effort
One of the few bands to reform and produce albums on a par with their heyday. Decent record but, for me, not at the same level as their others since reforming
