Edited 24 days agoThis record meant so much for me back in 1983,how could anyone make this kind of music,the songs full of teenage trauma and magnificent performances.No one has made a better album in teenage problems and never will,just check the titles The hurting,Mad world,Suffer the children,Watch me bleed,Strart of the breakdown,plus very good videos of the songs.This is an album made by very talented young guys,who had a look to die for.An amazing record indeed.Thank you very much,this is one my favourite records ever!.
