Title: Adam And The Ant's
Post by: DaFunkyPrecedent on Sep 15, 2008, 05:36 PM
I've been hearing a lot about Adam And The Ant's - "Kings of the Wild Frontier" lately.  The record was released in 1980 and almost 30 years later it is still getting hype - so I thought I would pick it up to see what all the talk was about.  

Now I'm here to talk it up!  It's 1980's punk/funk/rock (kinda talking head's ish, but not so dancy).  The beats and the rythem of the whole album is a sound you can't escape.  So say the least, they're infectious.  Every song binds you down, to the point where you find yourself staring at your record player wondering where they're going to go next with the song.  After the song ends, it leaves you hanging, like a good book at the end of every chapter, wanting more, wanting to know what's going to happen next.  Then once it ends...you realize you drove the long way home just so you could have more time with Adam and the Ants.  

Check out this album.  It's quite a good time!  plus, it's a classic, and everyone loves having the classics in their collection.
