Flashback Review: Pop Will Eat Itself - Page 2

As the record plays it will give you only small breaths of air to recover from the intensity it contains. It's almost non-stop explosions of sound. It wins you over not by creative suggestion, but by multiple kicks to the head. At the time of This is the Day..., a huge section of America was condemning the use of samples as stealing for the untalented. The Poppies shoved it right down our throats and proved that Rock and Rap can kick teeth in. If we had only listened we may have been passed this damn Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock phase by now.

This Is the Day...This Is the Hour...This Is This! is a must have album is you enjoy:

-The Beastie Boys
-Music history

-Samples
-Rappers with British accents
-Crystal Meth

    excellent Robert, great memories. My fave PWEI is even farther back, the first one, with "There's No Love Between Us Anymore"

    I Vince Elgey, was with the poppies the day the music died, far from singing bye bye etc etc etc. We were saddened by the loss of the great driving force in UK pop that was Bucks Fizz. Vince they said, say something wize about this tragic elgey event. Being Vince Elgey, I held it together and sand a beautiful eulogy to the departed songsmiths that lit the fuse that finally became Pop Will Eat itself. I would like to thank all my Vince Elgey Bucks Fizz Following Pop Eating Popsters for helping me Vince Elgey get over this tragic loss. Also if anyone knows where Jay Aston lives or where the rubbish van that collects her rubbish goes to when it is full, that would be most Elgey appreciated.
