From Amazon.com: Having kickstarted punk rock with 1977's seminal (I'm) Stranded, this runty, sardonic Brisbane foursome followed up their debut with an equally testy and snarling collection. This time, however, the Saints added horns to certain tracks, sounding not unlike updated Teenage Head-era Flamin Groovies. Aside from a couple of morose antilove songs ("Untitled,"" "A Minor Aversion") and an acrid advert for their homeland ("The Hilarious "Orstralia"), much of Eternally Yours consists of bilious attacks on consumer society and its myriad lures. --Barney Hoskyns
A killer album by Australia's greatest punk band: So, uh, if you thought the first Saint's album was cool, then check your pacemaker at the door before you put this one on the stereo. Ace bunny killer. An absolute classic of relentless and unceasingly catchy guitar rock. While the lyrics are comparatively highbrow, Chris Bailey's vocals are practically feral -- combined with Ed Kuepper's crushingly powerful guitars and a set of LOUD, LOUD speakers, and you've got a record to reckon with. At this point Bailey and Kuepper seem telepathically entwined; when they later had an inevitable falling out over artistic differences (or whatever...), the band went soft and postpunk, and while that stuff ain't bad, this record is amazing. One of the few seminal punk albums that still holds up when you're all grown up.
Don't ignore this one!: It took me a while but this a great album, it is loud,funny, it is just great. Always been hard to get and therefore grown into a frustration for a while. Don't tell me something I don't already know!!
