| It's great to hear PiL back
at something resembling top form. Their shows at the Hammersmith Odeon
last year were dreadfully smug affairs which saw at least one Sounds freelance
fall asleep mid-gig. Any thoughts that Lydon was going to continue going
through the motions are dispelled by this. It's probably their poppiest
effort yet, with Lydon relishing the chance to sneer over a tune that's
virtually Culture Club. The lyrics take a scathing swipe at the hypocrisy
inherent in current green obsessions, and John's delivery is as deliciously
finger-wagging as ever. Let's just hope it gets on Top Of The Pops. |
