How out of time it was and how it was to help shape the "post-punk" spree that followed.


154 by Wire pre-dated it by 2 months. While it maybe doesn't display the overt Kraut and dub influences that course and pulsate through MB's veins, I think it was just as great a milestone of Punk's transition into adulthood.


Unknown Pleasures came out in August 1979, The Slits' Cut and Gang of Four's Entertainment! were both September. And Magazine's Real Life came out back in 1978, along with Chairs Missing and The Scream. Great period for records, Metal Box was almost at the end of that first flush of post-punk albums.
