At Home With You [LP]

X (AU) - At Home With You [LP]

Five years after their debut album Aspirations, 1985's sophomore full-length "At Home with You" showcased a new depth for the seminal Australian punk pioneers X. The record mixes somewhat more commercial sensibilities with unabashed punk ethos that can most readily be detected in frontman Steve Lucas's expressive, sore-throated vocals. Featuring ambitious and artful musicianship, and even an atmospheric ballad in the smoky "Don't Cry No Tears," while the band's pub-rockin' roots are still on display in tracks like "Degenerate Boy" and the bouncy "She's Gone."

While it positions its maturity up front, spending a bit of time at home with this newly reissued LP will assure you that you're still tuned into the same delightfully abrasive outfit that produced the classic posthumously-released 1977 X-Spurts sessions.
