Talk about under-the-radar pop classic. Seriously, talk about it. Now.
Pop Matters: In a better world, this debut would've put them on a level with the Sex Pistols, the Band, and Brian Eno. In this world, it made them just another fetish for the rock cultists, but if they came out today and were given the attention they always deserved, the dB's would sound just as startling, fresh, and innovative as they must have to the lucky few that heard them the first time around... The dB's were pushing in a direction that pop music should've followed in the wake of punk but didn't. When everyone else was infatuated with tinny synthesizers and flattened emotions, the dB's dared to keep the focus squarely on their guitars and their wildly emotional vocals.
