Public Image Ltd - Flowers of Romance (1981)

 


There's much fuss about PiL's 3rd offering. Some referring to it as the most uncommercial album ever delivered to  record company. Well, they should've waited a few years for that gem to actually arrive. I’m sure Johnny boy didn’t give a fuck. Personally, I find this set to be the most approachable out of PiLs entire catalog. The sound is percussion heavy, and sometimes even droning, but so pleasing. I hear an old rumor from a slightly refutable source that at some point during the recording, the band used anything they could get their hands on as an instrument. From a dirty wet box, to beat-up suitcase. But who cares? The record jams and it's obvious by how much fun they're having. Just look at the cover. Spin it, you'll be pleased.
