91Recently, a friend of mine told me that he'd heard this totally anti-emotional, ice-cold music and how he immediatly thought is was something I'd like. He then gave me his copy of Metal Box.

92Not crap. I like Album/Compact Disc as well and a few assorted things post-FOR, like (This Is Not A) Love Song.
Commercial PiL is still better than a lot of dreck out there.

94Is there any other band who's first three records are as wonderful PIL's?
Has anyone even come close?
Those records are as exciting to me at 30 as they were when I first heard them at 15. They sound so fucking great.

95First Issue isn't talked about nearly enough.
"Theme" invented the Swans. I could go on about each of the eight tracks. Most solid PiL record.
I would never part with any of the three, though.

Death Disco (12" Single) - Simply some of the most psychotic guitar shredding ever laid on tape. Keith Levene owns this track, even though everyone else really gives it their absolute all. From a production standpoint, the sound is truly astounding. You haven't heard this song until you've heard this version, all 6:48 of it.
Having now heard this once: it obliterates the Metal Box version and is clearly one of the greatest things ever to have existed, especially the last minute or so. Thank you for bringing this up.

Why thank you!
I honestly wish they hadn't even tacked the fadeout on...
Life...life...I know it's got its ups and downs.
