The 1985 Listening Post - Bad Manners - Mental Notes

Bad Manners - Mental Notes


#321/956
1985 Housekeeping
Bad Manners
Mental Notes
Genre: 2 Tone
3.5 out of 5


Highlights:
Body Talk




I know, that highlight is weird. But so is this record. If this was the album that brought you to Bad Manners you might not ever revisit their other stuff.
And you’re really not missing much. But at least “Body Talk” is fun. I could swing dance to it. It sounds closer to Madness than ska. 
In fact, this record really doesn’t feel very Ska at all. Sure, “Tie Me Up” & Destination Unknown do, but that’s few and far between the tones here.
