considered as one of their "weaker" albums, but I think the songwriting is sterling here, has one of their best songs "Here Comes President Kill Again"

and a second best in "Chalkhills & Children"

and i don't mind the 80s production, not one iota

This is one I'm going to have to hear in full again, but I do have memories of it. I do remember a couple of reviews, one in a UK publication that was very short lived called Offbeat, that actually judges the album by pairing up sides - possibly hinting that it could have used some editing in that opinion. It's been years, so past my Late 80's Teenage Wilderness I should check it out again, although I always had a like for "The Mayor of Simpleton."
