As someone who was buying records just like this one in 1979 I am in a sort of awe over how masterfully The Epoxies have grasped the New Wave tropes they use like they were born with them [and they probably were]. This is what I've always wanted out of music and was ecstatic to have arrive in the late 70s: crunchy guitars [for energy], buzzing synthesizers [for energy], deadpan vocals [a must for the ennui generation] that coalesces to create a paradoxical sort of vibrant, life-affirming cynicism that I consider the hallmark of New Wave music. These anthems of disaffection are played with vigor and a sublimated passion that send me over the edge!

This utterly fantastic album gets 4 stars for carrying a tradition magnificently. The Epoxies will deserve a 5th star when they begin to advance the form - a challenge to say the least! It is difficult to imagine returning to a time and space to re-examine a style and then successfully carrying it forward in a way that differs from what actually happened. In the meantime, thrill to post-punk hits that never were like "Synthesized," Radiation" and "Everything Looks Beautiful On Video!" The Epoxies also have the beautiful nerve to cover The Scorpions "Robot Man" from their [wait for it] 1979 album "Tokyo Tapes" without an ounce of irony. The Scorps should be pleased and you would be too!

Well, I had to take this up to 5 stars anyway, since the group broke up after I wrote this review and I can't help but marvel at the power of their achievement. Plus, Roxy Epoxy solo has advanced beyond re-creating New Wave tropes [however brilliantly] into something more forward-looking.
