The four hundred and forty-second album: #442 The Slits - Cut

While billed as a punk band, when listening to Cut the reggae sound stands out most often. It has the reggae-style percussion and vocals that dominate the album, a slight slurring to the latter and a looseness to the whole album. It's not bad, but it does start to wear thin about four tracks in. The album tries to mix it up a bit in places, but it doesn't mix it enough for that to really work, and often it's just the slightly different lyrics that feel like the only difference between the tracks.
