    Amazing opener, and a great burst far from the original standards of punk. Who knew delicate poetry could be intertwined with instrumental rawness so well! Amazing band, truly influential throughout punk and it's derived forms. Shame these sort of artists aren't recognized as much on modern standards as they should be. 'Punks' of this day only know what they're exposed to, I suppose. But in the age of the internet, ignorance is no excuse.

    Their most post-punk song is not even in the top 15. How ironic.

    Timeless. No less interesting than it was the first time I listened to it on Chicago's college radio stations.
