Public Image Ltd. Album: “Happy?”

I fell down into this sublime electronic mass of (tight) electronic loose ends when it first came out. Was besotted, but also taken aback. Where did the orchestral, string-and-background-vox smoothness come from? Gorgeous! Still love this. the combination of harsh and beautiful, esp. on fat chance hotel. And rules and regulations and bodies! I like a lot of different stuff, but this is a favorite.

although this is not cutting edge as earlier pil ,it is still what are at this stage seasoned pros on top form.fat chance hotel is my fav track lydon having a good old sarcastic winge over a dub sound.Polished 80s production seems to add something strange.

A surprisingly tight and melodic collection from a former member of The Sex Pistols. The lyrics remain politically inspired, yet this is a neat 80's-type band. Seems to me that the first three songs hit like a hammer, then the rest of the CD rolls gently downhill. All in all, this is a rockin' album and there's bound to be more than just a few songs you like on here.
