The Pop Group - (1979) - We Are Time

Artist: The Pop Group
Album: Y
Release Date: 1979
Label: WP

Abrasive, but interesting, the Pop Group's debut is perhaps the most succinct summation of their angry and defiant approach to rock & roll. Although at times resembling the discordant funk of fellow post-punk radicals Gang of Four, the Pop Group leave rhythm behind almost as quickly as they find it, and the result is a clattering din of sound resembling an aural collage. The longish, guitar-driven track "We Are Time" is the strongest cut, establishing a solid groove that won't let go.

The vocalist has a pleasant voice. Does he do a lullaby version?

Ted Byron, what exactly is vulgar about your post?

HA HA HA! The fact that you would even apply that term to this post shows not only that the space in your foramen magnum is quite fecal but whatever room is left in there contains a very small and frightened medulla oblongata.

Why is it so offensive to use the term "No Wave"? Many artists dislike labels, but ultimately they do serve a purpose in describing stylistic movements and linking groups that share common themes and history. It certainly seems no worse than referring to Mozart or Beethoven as "Classical." Also, I think you may not have the correct definition of the word fecund, it makes your sentence rather confusing.

[Red Panda]

When you say "emperor's new clothes", are you implying that fans are only pretending to like this? Because that is certainly not the case, at least for the no-wave listeners I personally know (myself included).

[Dick HEAD]

I like it.

[Ted Byron]

I hate to be so vulgar, but it seems you have a serious flaw in the aural processing centers of your mind It's great because it defies genres. No Wave. HA HA HA! The fact that you would even apply that term to this shows not only that the space in your cranium is quite fecund but whatever room is left in there contains a very small and frightened brain.
