Notes: Adam and the Ants came on the scene
and played around on the edges of Punk, but were more aligned
with the New Romantic wing of the 80's New Wave revolution. Snappy
dressers with a talent for driving double drum rhythms and a
front man who had the voice, style and panache to pull off the
Jimi Hendrix/swashbuckling pirate crossover. This album in particular
had a nice range of material such as the wonderful spaghetti
western sound of "Los
Rancheros", the drum beats of "Antmusic", "Dog
Eat Dog" and the near hysteric vocals of "Press Darlings".
The cover photos do a nice job of capturing the band and their
image at the time. A classic album.
