Rolling Stone's 382nd greatest album of all time
Brilliant proto-punk album, being at times like a punk version of The Doors, at other times more sombre and melancholy. The mix of these marks this album out apart from other similar albums of the time. I only recognised Roadrunner (because of the disastrous Sex Pistols cover on The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle and listened to MIA's cover just the day before!), but really enjoyed the album. Around halfway through I suddenly recognised Jonathan Richman's voice as being the singer throughout There's Something About Mary.

"I remember going to my first “gay” film festival in the ’70s, with its tiny newsprint program, folding chairs for the audience, a complete underground experience. I asked my companion, “When do we see a lesbian movie?” Chantal Akerman’s avant-garde jewel was my first. My God, talk about ahead of her time. A proto-punk dyke protagonist, a butch, a whore, an outlaw, the unrepentant seize-fiend of all she sees . . . We still fight for glimpses of such antiheroines in the movies. Julie/Chantal is, regretfully, still a woman on the edge of antipatriarchal time."
