Guitarist makes this. captures the decay and brutalist feeling of the time. All band spot on.

This is what John wanted from the beginning, he didn't really want to be in a punk band but it was an outreach for him to get his message across... Here he seems more comfortable doing what he wants finally. And it sounds sublime. PIL are very underrated as a band but I guess nobody was ready for it.

Possibly PIL's finest err, poptone.

Along with the music being magnificent, do these lyrics scare the hell out of anyone else? Stunning stuff.

Being a Bass player myself, I must say, Jah Wobble is a big influence on me. The past month alone, I've been listening to this record endlessly!

Levene and Wobble and Martin Atkins are amazing here, and the singer is good as well, lol

Probably the most incredible performance of "Poptones" ever. This completely rules over the "too long" (Levene's words, not mine!) album version from Second Edition. Just listen to Wobble's bass!Of course, I miss Keith very much and have missed him since Flowers. Keith may have had a heroin addiction during this time, but the man CARRIED the band almost by himself. John Lydon, the incredibly selfish genius that he is, let his best partner walk out the door. Depending on who you ask, Commercial Zone was the last good PiL album. Don't get me wrong though, songs like "Rise", "Cruel" and "Acid Drops" still keep me a big Lydon fan. Not to mention "Psycho's Path". That album was all killer, no filler.
