When you're born in 1972, you only remember Adam Ant as a joke, a Dennis Rodman, a Billy Idol wannabe even. You didn't even know that some people took him seriously for a while.
Hearing this song, I'm not saying I love it, but I at least understand why people took him seriously. He was trying to do something non-frivolous. Two drum sets going a little crazy, a bizarre song structure with majestic melodies.
No need to channel Christgau on this one. I can just quote him:
"The music, needless to say, is rock and roll, a clever pop-punk amalgam boasting two drummers, lots of chanting, and numerous B-movie hooks. Grade: B."
Sounds about right to me.
RATING: 62.
