"This album came out before Adam and The Ants had success in the US. The shame is that for many that were exposed to Adam and The Ants because of later releases that were not as good, they never listened to Kings of the Wild Frontier. Big mistake! If you are even a marginal Adam fan stop now and get this truly great CD. A ground breaking sound when it came out that really has never been duplicated. One of my all-time favorite albums that needs to be listened to from beginning to end. Highly recommended for any music fan."
