专辑介绍
by Stephen SPAZ Schnee
Originally released in 1979, &To Hell&, the Boys' third album, was recorded in a small Norwegian town called Hell (hence the album title's pun), and is probably the most consistently great album of their career. Though they have always been considered a punk band, a quick listen to any of their albums (apart from their debut) shows them to be the ultimate power pop band: great songs, tons of energy, and a powerful wall of guitars. What more could you ask for out of a power pop band? Kicking off the set is &Sabre Dance& (yes, a musical nod to Love Sculpture), which then segues into the awesome &Rue Morgue&. Next up is their fantastic re-write of &Knocking On Heaven's Door& entitled &Terminal Love& (which does actually feature a bit of them singing &Heaven's Door& near the end cheeky Boys, eh?). &See You Later& is glam pop at it's finest. The haunting Lennon-esqe ballad &You Can't Hurt A Memory& is quite touching (especially from a group of so-called punks). &Kamikaze& features an agitated heavily accented vocal with a catchy horn section that turns the 'angry' feel of the lyrics into a breezy pop/punk nugget. And so it goes on With five bonus tracks (including their great version of &You Better Move On&), this is a must have for fans of British pop and power pop in general.
