Fact #90345

Ian McCulloch : It’s quite a short, sharp, to-the-point album, and it zings like a bastard. It’s got a real spikiness. It’s zippy and it sounds like a group that were already slightly off their heads. It was after punk, and it adhered to the kind of sound or attitude of punk, but it had other influences going on - Bowie, The Doors, the Velvets. The name of the album sounds hip and cool. I think people liked the whole mystique of the band then. I do remember sitting in Rockfield listening back to Crocodiles thinking, ‘This is the best thing ever made.’
