Review

Uncut (p.96) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "With Shelley delivering his best songs in year....He sounds as heartbroken and grumpy as only an old punk can be."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.p.88) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The album] solidly reiterates the archetypal Buzzcocks sound, with a brace of songs standing muster with the classics of yore."

Title Note

Buzzcocks: Pete Shelley, Steve Diggle (vocals, guitar); Tony Barber (bass guitar); Philip Barker (drums).

Thirty years after their 1976 formation in Manchester, England, the Buzzcocks released FLAT-PACK PHILOSOPHY, an album of invigorated punk tunes that sports the group's straightforward, streamlined sound. Fronting a lineup that has stayed consistent since the ensemble's 1993 reunion, founding guitarists/vocalists Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle offer up 14 melodic, hard-charging songs on this 2006 record.

Though some songs mine personal territory (standard Buzzcocks lyrical fare), most notably the regretful "Wish I Never Loved You," which recalls the band's classic bouncy, pop-tinged aesthetic, much of FLAT-PACK PHILOSOPHY is concerned with skewering 21st-century consumerism, as revealed to greatest effect on the blistering "Sell You Everything" and the scathingly satirical "Credit" (which features playfully mundane samples of an automated check-out system). Although the disc can't compete with the band's late-'70s heyday, it honors that era, while confidently moving forward, making this one of the Buzzcocks' best latter-day albums.
