专辑介绍
这支来自北爱尔兰的乐队常会让人想起90年代的Green Day乐队，他们共同的特征是把朋克低龄化、偶像化了。The Undertones的音乐是典型的朋克乐，但很少有不和谐音，在大多数的时间里这张乐队处女专辑没有自以为是的政治演说，也没有对人性社会的深刻剖析，有的只是年轻人对自己日常生活的有趣叙述，多多少少有点玩世不恭，但并不反叛。这是张很好听的专辑，即使再严肃的乐评人也会对它报之以莞尔一笑。专辑中诞生了朋克乐最为世人所接受的一段旋律Teenage kicks。
by Stewart Mason
What is a perfect album? One could make an argument that a perfect album is one that sets out a specific set of artistic criteria and then fulfills them flawlessly. In that respect, and many others, the Undertones' 1979 debut is a perfect album. The Northern Ireland quintet's brief story is no different than that of literally dozens of other bands to form in the wake of the Clash and, more importantly, the Buzzcocks, but the group infuses so much unabashed joy in their two-minute three-chord pop songs, and there's so little pretension in their unapologetically teenage worldview, that even the darker hints of life in songs like the suicide-themed "Jimmy Jimmy" are delivered with a sense of optimism at odds with so many of their contemporaries. There's no fewer than three all-time punk-pop classics here; besides that song, the singles "Teenage Kicks" and "Get Over You" are simple declarations of teenage hormonal lust that somehow manage to be cute instead of Neanderthal; perhaps it's Feargal Sharkey's endearingly adenoidal whine, or the chipper way the O'Neill brothers pitch in on schoolboy harmonies, like a teenage Irish Kinks. All of the other 13 songs, even the 47-second blip "Casbah Rock," are nearly to that level of brilliance, with the frenetic "Girls Don't Like It" a particular standout. The Rykodisc CD adds seven demos and single sides, and also includes an entirely different, punkier version of "True Confessions" than the nervous, new wave-influenced throb of the version on the original U.K. vinyl.
