Chumbawamba - First 2

Review by ROUBERVAL BARBOZA

First 2, the debut album by British band Chumbawamba, is a raw and energetic collection of punk rock anthems. Released in 1984, the album showcases the band's political and social activism, with lyrics that tackle issues such as poverty, war, and inequality.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Revolution," a call to arms for the working class. The following tracks, such as "Love Me" and "Don't Try This at Home," maintain the same high-energy punk sound, but delve into more personal themes of love and relationships.

One standout track is "Doh!", a satirical take on the British education system and its flaws. The song's catchy chorus and bouncy melody make it a standout track on the album.
