Never released in America,
the Slits' second and final record found them pushing the envelope rhythmically. Although designed to be more commercial than
Cut, it's actually less so, sounding more like the innovative work a young
Adrian Sherwood was doing with
Creation Rebel. Fans of the early
Slits, who were put off by the reggae of
Cut, were no doubt further alienated by this record's comfortable use of Afro-pop tempos and style. Which was a shame, because this music was interesting, daring, and exciting. ~ John Dougan
