My latest obsession. What an album-opener! Total class. Wish I'd been a few years older to have enjoyed this first time round (I was 8).

It's like the whole band took turns beating the shit out of a skinhead, then used the money in his wallet to buy a synthesizer. I love it.

This might be the definitive post-punk song--not because it's the apogee of the form, but because it's uniquely illustrative and because it maps out an unusual breadth of sonic territory. The verses are mutant reggae--sped-up and anxious, with the bass playing the melody and the guitar playing a sort of rhythm track. It ain't punk, and it doesn't rock--even during the guitar-laden bars that serve as a bridge to the chorus. The choruses themselves are something else entirely, though they're no more reminiscent of rock 'n' roll. Ringing and majestic, with sweeping synthesizer lines wholly at odds with the anxious verses, they're both optimistic and futuristic. But, as ostentatiously lovely as they are, the choruses come off as ironically overblown following the final lines of the verses ("So this is real life / You're telling me"), lines Devoto delivers with a dispassionate sneer. Whatever else they might be, phony strings conjuring phony grandeur from thin air aren't real life.
