Bugger Off!

If you thought 's debut album was a brute, then their follow-up is positively antisocial. Titled with such a glaring eye for controversy that many U.K. record stores simply refused to stock it (but would the band countenance a name change? Would they hell!), picked up where its predecessor left off, and rampaged on from there. Covers of 's and ' might have seemed a little obvious, but both are battered down with such a glorious lack of finesse that it's impossible to object -- anybody familiar with, respectively, and the ' versions of the same songs will come in with at least a vague idea of what to expect, but that's about it. is even more disheveled, and when 's liner notes reminisce on the group's insistence on recording live, you can tell he's not necessarily looking back with any fondness. On one occasion, he suggested they do a little overdubbing. The band's response to his words would become the album's title. ~ Dave Thompson
