"Apocalyptic dread may be back in musical vogue at the moment; compare Final Day to Arcade Fire's anguished end-of-days schtick, with its choral vocals and strings and thundering timpani, and there's no doubt which would sound more stirring while booming from a Glastonbury stage. But there's equally little doubt which burrows deeper under your skin". - The Guardian
probably my favourite album of all time, so many great songs, reminds me of my own "collosal" youth. not the greatest photo of the gorgeous lead singer though I feel !!
How to be short, efficient and poignant? Just listen to the Young Marble Giants!

One of the scariest songs of all time.

Pure punk, in its calmly apocalyptic way. Dark gem.

This is my favorite YMG song. Something so understated and economical about it.
