Captain Sensible plays the guitar very well and masters the guitar pedals to achieve different effects that go beyond the typical distortion plus chorus or reverb. There is more musical richness in the compositions without losing a bit of the strength, the grit and the madness that they had inside. The bass work is tremendous and Vanian's vocals sound as always soaring. Shooman, Joe (October 2007). "The Damned – Machine Gun Etiquette". Record Collector. No.341 . Retrieved 3 June 2013. Love Song charted and two Top of The Pops appearances ensued, but then Smash It Up was banned by the Beeb for fear of inciting revolution. I Just Can't Be Happy restored the balance a bit, and produced another TOTP appearance, but some momentum had been lost and so it was time to move on: but more of that next year. Issued in November 1979, “Machine Gun Etiquette” was more than a valediction. A thrilling, wild ride, it took in hyper-speed, guitar-driven pop, psychedelic pop and surreal pop songs drawing from the girl’s comic Bunty and Vanian’s fascination with Hollywood and horror. Pop, though, was what the album was about. Tunes. Whether with the hard-edged anthem ‘Noise, Noise, Noise’ (featuring members of the Clash on vocals; they were recording “London Calling” at the same studio booked by the Damned), the kinetic ‘Liar’ or the astonishing, atmospheric ‘Plan 9 Channel 7’, this new Damned prioritised melody. Issued with a B&W illustrated card inner sleeve which has rounded corners and a wide die cut thumb section to the top opening.

The ending of "Smash It Up (Part II)" segues into the "Ballroom Blitz" intro. "Rabid (Over You)" is a new mix. There's still the quirkiness (ahem, 'These Hands') that hints the band might end up heading in a very different direction in the near future, though nothing is overtly 'gothic' at this stage - just a hint of the perverse in a similar fashion to say, The Doors. a b Robbins, Ira (15 March 1991).

Ed Hollis – producer ("Love Song" (Ed Hollis version), "Noise, Noise, Noise" (Ed Hollis version), "Suicide") It was also a Damned which – whatever the humour – was dead serious about setting its stall and making a mark. There was no filler: even the cover of the MC5’s ‘Looking At You’ slotted in without breaking the flow. “Machine Gun Etiquette” hit shops within weeks of “London Calling” and Public Image Limited’s “Metal Box”, both benchmark albums showing how far their creators had moved beyond what had been defined as punk. The same applied to the Damned, who likewise recognised no musical barriers and did what they wanted: the true defining characteristic of punk. They didn’t care about definitions anyway. Which is why this classic, essential album sounds as fresh now as it did in 1979. Great band. Thank you for posting this. However you seem to have missed their 1984 release under their alter ego Naz Nomad and the Nightmares called 'Give Daddy The knife Cindy'. Its a great garage / psych cover album that's well worth including.This is the punk band per excellence and probably the best quality one. With this LP they revealed themselves as "something more" than a punk band with the ability to give their compositions a more elaborate musical touch than the Sex Pistols or the Ramones themselves. This album was the bridge from the bands early 'punk' days to their more creative and commercial eighties phase. a b c "New Documentary Explores The Damned's 40 Year History of Anarchy, Chaos And Destruction".
