Their/his best album - I've loved it since it came out and I still listen to it. It came out when MTV came out so their visuals combined with this new viral channel, really propelled to fame more than anything - they were in heavy rotation in MTV's first years

This was one of my first albums when I was a kid. I saw Adam Ant on TV and after that I was hooked. What stood out about that album was how distorted and rough the recording was; I remember reading one reviewer who said it sounded like they used paper cups and strings as sound equipment, or something to that effect.

Yes it definitely has a DIY feel to the recording, but that’s what makes it great!
