Tribal, synth-laden—oh, and you better believe it’s avant-garde—this 1981 release from PiL is a head-trip of violence and beauty. John Lydon’s lovely sing-song lyrics carelessly riding atop the stark instrumentation only add to the fun (?). Definitely not for everyone, but certainly a necessity for many. Favorite tracks: ‘Under the House,’ ‘Banging the Door,’ ‘Francis Massacre’
