There are a lot of holes in this project prior to 1985. I was really only relying on Wikipedia for the list. Now that others have gotten involved (specifically Sheffield and his tireless effort to get to EVERYTHING) our list is closer to complete. What that means is that any thought I had that there was a glut of music in the 00s made possible by the ease of access to anyone with a computer was incorrect. With over 500 records released in the Rock genre in 1985 alone I’m left to wonder just how anyone ever thought they could ever make a living as a rock star. It seems to me that successful albums have to pay for all the garbage that doesn’t make it and what doesn’t make it is a tonnage.
So, in that regard, I missed the earlier U.K. Subs albums and am left with this as my first exposure. It sounds like The Dicks lost their sense of humor but kept all the muddy sound. This punk style sounds more and more dated with every release.
Nothing sticks around very long, so that’s good but it’s not very rewarding.
