Great guitar work, but songwriting could be better IMO. Damaged Goods is an obvious highlight, I also love Guns Before Butter, At Home He's a Tourist.

Ouch. Multiple people calling this record mediocre. That's insane. Entertainment! is the sound of Gang of Four inventing post-punk by showcasing the natural power of bass. Plus the political lyrical content really adds to the power of the album.

The guitar and bass works are very direct but not aggressive at all, so I like it for being faithful to what they want to express by the music they made.
