I find it hard to categorise music, I am much like Mr Rat in that either I like it or I don't. However, when I listened to this a couple of days ago, my first thought was that it was a punk album, but then what is punk - The Clash, The Jam, The Stranglers? Not sure I know. I think a lot of music features angry young men, probably more often than angry young women and I have never really thought about why this might be. Generally, i like angry stuff. The recent Sam Fender album is angry, Tom Morello's collaborations with Bruce really bring out the angry side of his music. Maybe men have a different way of expressing anger, I don't know. I'm just rambling now, so I will stop!
Getting back to this album, I listened again with the lyrics in front of me and enjoyed it more. My first listen without the lyrics I was just experiencing the music and rhythm, with the lyrics it takes on new meaning.
Thanks @MagicRatAFC , an excellent start to the album club.
