Destroy your safe and happy lives before it is too late

"Truly a great album. In some sad sense, it seemed like the last gasp of a real critique of capitalism.



Sadly, the Bush years have made this critique more timely than ever.



More importantly, it just plain rocks, especially Memphis, Egypt and Now They Can Keep It."
One of the Best!!!!

"Rock and Roll/Punk albums of all time.



And Musical groups of all time toboot.



They are so much better than U2 or Rancid, to pick two money making genre leaders for rock and punk. The Mekons are the real deal.



It's like the difference between a rap MC from the streets that brings it with uncompromising originality or a corporate created hip hop MC based on looks and connections. The Mekons are those real people that do NOT sacrifice their music for extra $$, even though they easily could have and basically been as wealthy and well known as U2.



Check out these other albums also:

(1)Curse of, (2)I love, (3)Retreat to Memphis, (4)Ooh (Out of Our Heads), and Journey to the End of the Night



That' s a lot of albums, but I kid you not, they are all incredible in their own ways.



Take a chance on the real thing for a change. :)"
Great rock and roll full of spunk.

"three fine lead vocalists grace this overlooked album from 1989. jon langford's voice is loose and cocky and full of attitude with a joe strummer-ish swagger. sally timm's vocals are strong and precise and sound full of confidence. tom greenhalgh's singing articulates a superb sense of english-pop phrasing. throughout this recording the guitars dominate the music, dense and powerful, churning out layer upon layer of catchy hooks. "empire of the senseless," is the classic track here, but there are plenty of great moments, including the superb strangeness of "cocaine lil," the clash-like rocker, "amnesia," the powerful anthem "heaven and back," and "echo," with its big drum beat and wall of guitar sound. this cd needs a bigger audience. go ahead and become a part of it."
