Rated 5/5
Review by the-jaguar Aug 08, 2003
'Bummed' is one of the greatest, most original, and untouchable albums ever released. It's surprising that it never even gets in any of the album polls. Martin Hannett produced this, but as it's a departure in sound from all the other stuff he did, the band themselves must be credited for much of the way it sounds. Dance music without even trying to be. I've listened to this album on and off for nearly six years and it still amazes me. Get yourself a copy.
