Hmm.... I've heard so much about this being the "greatest Batman and/or Joker comic ever written" and I'm left here like, ohhhhkkkaaaay, so what? The art is fantastic, but the story? I feel like it went nowhere. Or maybe just circled around. I don't know, but it was a major disappointment. I understand the parallels between The Joker and Batman, but the execution just wasn't there. I felt there was no humanity, and frankly it all felt very ho-hum and I felt no shock, no sadness or anger, or anything, just absolutely no emotions at all really.

"It’s one of the most influential records ever, on me. I’ve talked about it many times. I always feel duty bound to ram it home, what an amazing achievement to get so much Marxist anger into an album, which is actually really delicately played. People always accuse them of being Smiths copyists but it’s much faster, stuff like ‘Antinature’ and ‘The Well Of Loneliness,’ ‘An MP Speaks’, it’s a seamless album that can grind you into submission, like all good communists should. Brilliant cover as well. Of all my records this is definitely my most played piece of vinyl."
