Our Take

Public Image Ltd's "Plastic Box" is a whirlwind of sonic experimentation and social commentary. This mammoth collection packs in four discs worth of post-punk goodness, showcasing the band's evolution from their early days to their more experimental later work. From the jagged guitars of "Public Image" to the hypnotic dub of "Death Disco," this album is a rollercoaster ride through the twisted mind of frontman John Lydon. Lydon's sneering vocals cut through the mix like a knife, delivering biting lyrics that still resonate today. But it's not just Lydon's show - the rest of the band shines as well, with Keith Levene's inventive guitar work and Jah Wobble's rumbling bass lines providing the perfect backdrop for Lydon's wild antics. The breadth of styles on display here is truly impressive, from the reggae-infused "Poptones" to the eerie atmospherics of "Albatross." Sure, this box set may be a bit unwieldy for the casual listener, but for fans of PiL and post-punk in general, it's an absolute treasure trove. Dive in and let the mesmerizing sounds of "Plastic Box" wash over you - just be prepared to emerge a changed person. With its blend of raw energy and avant-garde sensibilities, this is an album that demands your attention and refuses to let go.
