It’s easy in 1981 to forget that punk was still around. The good stuff was few and far between, as we’ve seen. And music is changing, expanding, splintering.
That said, Songs of Praise positions The Adicts as Cockney Rejects opening act that is harder and more honest about their punk leanings without devolving into Crass territory. They bring their own fans to the show and all of those people leave after Cockney Rejects second song.
Every song is a perfect example of the style and yet nothing really sticks around. It’s not a sticky record.
That’s what Green Day and all the pop bunkers of the 90s learned. You gotta add some stickiness to the snot or else it’s just viscous mucus.
