Sir Lydon's project after murdering Sex Pistols [although in the 21st century he has ressurected them] this album is filled with a nihilistic new wave / post-punk / weirdo spirit. In the 80's there weren't many bands similar to P.I.L.:John Lydon had once again found a new way to shock the UK. Released in 1978 (by Virgin Records), this public attack record entitled "First Issue" has 8 tracks: 1.Theme (9:06) 2. Religion I (1:30) 3. Religion II (5:49) 4. Annalisa (6:07) 5. Public Image (3:01) 6. Low Life (3:39) 7. Attack (2:56) 8. Fodderstompf (7:46)
Songs like "Religion I" and "Religion II" mock any christian, verbally spitting straight at their face. Just examine these lyrics: "He takes the money / While you take the lie / This is Religion". Or take a look at these ones: "(...) And prey to the bitch / That spelled backwards is Dog". Musically, I prefer the following songs: "Theme", "Public Image" and "Fodderstompf". Some critics have said P.I.L. were responsible for developing the post-rock movement (since their music changed -thanks to Lydon, once again - rock music upside down). The album's lenght is 39 minutes and 54 seconds. All Music rated it with 4 out of 5 stars. You can get the album here.
The following video is a live version (in Tokyo, 1983, I guess) of the song "Religion I":
