500 Greatest Albums of the 1980s ... Ranked! # 431 The Damned - Strawberries

 


I seem to remember I almost bought this at the time. I think I read a good review and was coming alive to the fact that I was a late developer and perhaps needed to make up for lost time..

Listening to it now I'm glad I didn't, even though it's got its moments. The Damned never made their minds up exactly what kind of band they wanted to be. A Punk, One, a Psychedelic One, a Goth One a Metal One. Or none of these things. They ended up none of them most of the time and often an unearthly mess. Best sampled on singles or stand out album tracks.I'd say The Stranglers are a more reliable option.
