All Mod Cons (1978) — The Jams
Posted 8/22/25This album was basically like if The Clash were a better band (sorry Clash heads). I loved it.
This was early punk rock, storming into the early 80s whilst still holding onto the boyish charm of the 60s and 70s. I found the vocalist soo endearing and was very impressed with the lyricism too. I had a vast majority of the songs favorited at the end of my listen, which is always a good sign.
This one is so close to being a 5 star for me... but I think I need more time with it... The last couple songs fell a bit flat for me, so I need to consider whether that's a dealbreaker.
So so good though. Emotional highs and lows. Beautiful music. Fun moments. This album has it all.
