Various Artist - The Post Punk Singles Volume8

Review by sebastian sanchez

The Post Punk Singles by Various Artists is a compilation album that takes the listener on a journey through the post-punk era of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The album features tracks from some of the most influential bands of the time, including Joy Division, Gang of Four, and The Fall.

The album opens with Joy Division's "Transmission," a haunting track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The songs that follow are equally compelling, with each band bringing their own unique sound and style to the mix. Gang of Four's "Damaged Goods" is a standout track, with its driving bassline and politically charged lyrics.

The Fall's "Totally Wired" is another highlight, with Mark E. Smith's distinctive vocals and the band's experimental sound making for a truly memorable track. Other notable tracks include Public Image Ltd.'s "Public Image," Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Hong Kong Garden," and Magazine's "Shot By Both Sides."
