Customer Reviews Boost the levels Great songs, brittle clanky sound. If you aren't afraid of your volume knob, this re-issue can sound pretty good. . I didn't like it at first, but... But after repeated listenings, something happened. When I first got this, the only track I liked was "Born To Kill". I had an epiphany or something. Now I LOVE this album. Here's a track-by-track breakdown: "Neat Neat Neat" - Killer bassline, messy drums, blitzspeed guitar. In other words, THE DAMNED! "Fan Club" - This track shows that The Damned could get subtle, too. Very intimidating, which is one of their trademarks "I Fall" - Good track, short but fun. "Born To Kill - YES! This is it. Everything about it just rocks. "Stab Your Back" - This one's funny. Rat Scabies wrote it. Fast, simple, hilariously stupid. Good maniacal laughter at the end. "Feel The Pain" - Boring verse parts, killer chorus "New Rose" - Didn't like it immediately, but it's still good. "Fish" - Eh, it's good. Cool guitar, neat drums "See Her Tonite" - AWESOME. Great guitar, pure energy and exitement. More great drumming. "1 Of The 2" - Weird lyrics, very mystical. Cool guitar tone in the beginning "So Messed Up" - Great song, awesome false finish. Killer drums. "I Feel Alright" - This one just ROCKS. Possible my favorite track. Listen to those drums! So what this so great? First off, RAT SCABIES. This album has truly astounding drums. Secondly, it's got an interesting guitar sound. Brian James' guitar sounds very lean and compressed, without an excess of distortion. Vocally, this album's great. Aside from Dave Vanian's tough-guy Goth delivery, there's a lot of parts where it sounds like the whole band is moaning and shouting at once. This is a very cool effect. My advice? Buy this, then listen to it at a party. Or while breaking something. Or both! . The Damned : Not For Me..... I didn't care for it however. - 3 STARS I gave this CD three stars based on it's high respect among it's peers in Punk music. It's just not what I was expecting after reading all of these rave reviews. . . . Sorry. . . . . You can see a complete list of all Damned discography, or go back to the Damned tabs
