Our Take

In the swirling soup of 80s synth-pop, 999's "The Biggest Prize in Sport" stands out like a lime green vinyl in a sea of black records. This reissue of the band's third album brings to light their unique blend of punk energy and catchy hooks, making it not just a classic but a party anthem for the ages.

From the moment the needle hits the groove on "Hollywood," you're transported to a neon-lit dance floor where shoulder pads are as big as the hair and the only rule is to have a good time. The pulsating bass lines and infectious guitar riffs will have you bopping and grooving in no time, with tracks like "Found Out Too Late" and "Insanity" proving that 999 are masters of their craft.

But it's not just the music that shines on this album; the lyrics are a witty and cutting commentary on the excesses of the era, with frontman Nick Cash delivering them with a sneer that drips with sarcasm. Whether he's mocking the glitz and glamour of Hollywood or poking fun at the fickle nature of fame, Cash's words hit the mark every time.

Overall, "The Biggest Prize in Sport" is a welcome blast from the past that still manages to feel fresh and exciting today. So grab your leg warmers, pump up the volume, and get ready to party like it's 1980 all over again. This album is a winner in every sense of the word.
