I have always found it surprising the critical lambasting of
BTATS....although I was too young (at school) to have witnessed this era KJ
live it didn't really sit uncomfortably as an album in 1986 against their
peers, it was most certainly of its time.   Other commercial post punk
bands of that time were doing equally as polished albums, Echo & The
Bunnymen, PiL, Siouxsie And The Banshees, The Cure and even worse the
former post punk band Simple Minds were attempting to polish a turd by
going all stadium rock.

Victory was fucking appalling though!

natural follow on from to Night Time plus it was on that tour I first saw
them live.
