Eine sehr interessante Scheibe, auf der man deutlich die Weiterentwicklung seit der ersten CD ("Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts") hört. Obwohl die Songs recht anspruchsvoll aufgebaut sind, klingen sie doch recht rau, sodass die Herkunft aus dem Punk erkennbar bleibt.
I loved "Crossing the Red Sea" and recently bought the remastered double vinyl reissue. I went to see the band several times back in the day, and have all the early singles but, by the time this came out, I had moved away from punk. On hearing it for the first time I can understand why it didn't do well on release. First, Gaye's bass is far too prominent in the mix, and there are keyboards which I found distracting as well. Second, although I like TV Smith's Explorers, this album sits between "Crossing" and his post-Adverts material. A lot of punk bands didn't do too well on their second album. After a stunning start The Damned temporarily went downhill. The Sex Pistols didn't even manage a second proper album. What did come out was dross. Siouxise and the Banshees did really well, but it's The Scream which means the most to me. Cast of Thousands offers too much and too little at the same time. An extra band member, the loss of their drummer, the original Ultravox didn't survive that kind of change. The problem is that the change in line-up didn't do much that was positive. Some of the songs are a bit trite compared to Bomb Site Boys, One Chord Wonders, or New Church, and I found none that really stood out to hook me into listening again. I will, but only because I paid for it. Personally, I would say to anyone who lives "Crossing" to avoid this one. It's a clunker.
The Adverts show up as crude instrumentalists with speed metal licks and raw lyrics. They do exemplify the British Punk aesthetic in spades. A steady diet of whip-saw speed metal is a little hard on the nervous system even this far removed from their time, especially when they do not vary much from the same chord progressions or skill level. They may have been ahead of their time - or not - and "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" is worth more than one hearing, but they might have been better served by learning a bit more of their craft before embarking on their careers. Still, they are worth a listen for their advocacy of raw punk power.
The Advert's much maligned follow up to 'Crossing the Red Sea' is much better than the critics would have you believe, and this version contains 'The Wonders Don't Care' an excellent radio sessions album (worth at least 4 stars in its own right) as a bonus disc. All in all a very good value package.
