"This is an angry monster of politics,disease and oppression...Lydon has the best musicians and a great set of songs for this collection...I think "Home" is a battle cry and possibly the best song of the decade...a great statement!" Reply

"Kicking against the pricks, is one of those rare covers albums, where instead of sounding like an indulgent karaoke record, here, it actually sounds like an LP.
