Subhumans "From The Cradle To The Grave"

About this item

With their eclectic influence and scintillating musicianship, Subhumans were never going to be content to trot out anarcho punk-by-numbers, but no one was really prepared for the progressive brilliance of their sophomore album, "From The Cradle To The Grave." Whilst the A-side contains nine short-sharp bursts of energized punk gleefully embracing all points of the spikey spectrum, from the breakneck thrash of "Reality Is Waiting For A Bus" to the ominous dirge of "Wake Up Screaming," it is the ambitious title track that really captures the imagination: its sprawling, 16+ minute running time telling the sorry tale of the human life cycle across a myriad of dynamic acts. Committed to tape by the visionary John Loder at Southern Studios at the tail end of 1983, it was released in April 1984 to widespread acclaim - and only kept from the No. 1 spot in the independent charts by New Order. Track Listing: 1. Untitled 2. Forget 3. Waste Of Breath 4. Where's The Freedom? 5. Reality Is Waiting For A Bus 6. Us Fish Must Swim Together 7. Wake Up Screaming 8. Adversity 9. Rain 10. From The Cradle To The Grave
