Perfect.......2007-05-17

This album is supremely perfect. Every song is addicting and is soaked with highly energetic and bounchy rhythms and beats. I personally really love "Looking at You", "Plan 9, Channel 7", "Liar", "These Hands", and "Smash it Up Pts. 1&2" However all the songs on this album are worthy enough to listen to about a thousand times each, that may be an exaggeration (one truely might get tired of listening to a song that many times), but with this album, I sincerely doubt it's possible to get tired of it. If you are just recently figuring out of you like the Damned or not, give this album a listen and i'm sure you will love it. If not, then maybe this kind of music just isn't for you.
This album is perfect and I love it to death. One of the great ones, this is.

Machine Gun Etiquette.......2007-02-23

This is the album where The Damned passed their contemporaries by leaps and bounds. Every track is fresh and different, and all come straight out of the blue. I place this in the same rarified, esoteric air as The Beatles' "Sargeant Pepper" and White Albums, the Replacement's "Hootenanny", 'The Clash's "London Calling" or Alice Cooper's "School's Out". It transcends any expectation, genre, or stereotype. You should hear this.

Possibly the best punk album ever!.......2006-12-16

The Damned is the most underrated punk band. And they are awesome! You have to get "Machine gun Ettiquette" if you even remotely like punk. this is the essential damned. Although, the original recording is very good. Get that too. This is great punk!

Overall an excellent album.......2006-05-18

Machine Gun Etiquette and Damned Damned Damned are the two most actual "punk" albums that the Damned have and they are both excellent. They have much quicker paced songs, and more aggressive (if the Damned could ever be characterized this way!) and raw. The one thing I always laugh about on Machine Gun Etiquette is that the two worst songs they ever made are both on this otherwise great album - Ballroom Blitz and White Rabbit (interestingly, both are covers of previously flawless songs! Why they covered these and made them so horrible is beyond me!) But if you're a Damned fan or want to expand your original punk collection this is a good one to get.

One of the best punk albums ever.......2006-03-20

After the disappointment of Music for Pleasure, The Damned released Machine Gun Etiquette, thought of as their 'classic', and the only one that the critics ever pay any attention to.

It's undoubtedly their most consistent album, and every song is worthy of inclusion on a greatest hits compilation. At the best, The Damned were wonderful, with songs such as Plan 9 Channel 7, I Just Can't Be Happy Today, Smash it up and Love Song as the standout tracks. Anti-Pope and Noise Noise Noise will appeal to fans of the first two albums, but as a whole, Machine Gun Etiquette sounds very different to anything they'd done before.

If you're a punk fan, or a fan of The Damned, then buy it - you won't be disappointed.

Customer Reviews:

Almost perfect comeback from the Damned! 4 1/2 *.......2007-03-16

The damneds third album ( a comeback on rival with the Jams all mod cons) is a power pop punk pysche garage classic. This opens up with one of the best 5 song beginnings to any record. Short and catchy and full of vigor and humor- the damned rip into MGE like theres no tomorrow(and at the time there was no tomorrow for the band). This encompasses the energy and vitality of the debut with forays into sixties style garage pysche and expanded arrangements and points the way towards the Black Album which is also excellent. I would include this in the punk Uk top ten though it is not really a punk record- this along with damned damned damned is essential good fun with a style that only the damned pulled off.

Their BEST album + bonus tracks .......2005-01-12

This is by far my favorite release by the Damned and is also considered by many to be thier best release. This is the album they recorded and released in 1979 after their first break up in early 1978 they reformed in late 1978 without original guitarist Brian James. With a sound that rival a machine gun and produced 12 tracks of non stop sound. The cd (which had a naff yellow and orange cover) issued in 1990 added four non album tracks that didn't appear on the original album release which are the following tracks

1.Ballroom blitz features Motorhead's Lemmy on bass

2.Suicide

3.Rabid (over you)

4.White Rabbit (extended version) released as a b side if I'm not mistaken it was a cover of the Jefferson airplane song

Here was the line up at the time of release

Dave Vanian vocals

Captain Sensible (Croydon's favorite son) guitar played bass on the previous albums Damned Damned Damned and Music for pleasure

Algy Ward Ex-saints bass player who later went to form his own band Tank

Rat Scabies Drums


I can't stress enough how essential this album would be in your music collection but then again I do own 4 versions/copies of this fantastic album. :)

damned us.......2004-09-20

After a great debu album and a mediocre follow up the damned broke up for a year or so before releasing this gem. This has to be one of the best punk albums of all time. This bands influenced a lot of your faves like the misfits , dickies, and even guns n' roses. Best songs are: " love song ","machine gun etiquette", "melody lee", and " anti -pope".

LIKE BEING SHOT WITH A MACHINE GUN... POLITELY!!!.......2004-05-03

As the name implies, this album is like getting riddled full of bullet holes, but you don't really mind because the culprit does it with class and style and charms you to death first. The Damned had refined their punk onslaught on this platter, mixing bombastic rat-a-tat punk with sing-along melodies, psychedelic organ, and ambitious song structures. The Damned sound as nihilistic as any of their contemporaries on this album, but you have to give them the edge: whereas the Clash sounded like they want to take over the world with their political rhetoric, the Damned sound like the world's exploding, and they're the evil clowns hired to entertain at our last big shindig. This could be the single best punk album to come out of the 70's... absolutely smashing. Standout tracks include "I Just Can't Be Happy Today", "Love Song", "Machine Gun Etiquette".

Simply awsome punk.......2003-09-13

This must be at least one of the 5 best punk albums ever. Back in 1970s, the Damned were one of the first bands to do punk. Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Bad Religion, all influenced by this great band. Get this album, now. Best song, definately Smash it Up. Plan 7, Channel 9 proves that Captain Sensible is the best punk guitarist ever. Really. Great bass from Ward, especially on Love Song.
