About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Rhino's 2001 X reissue series would have been welcome if all it did was restore their first three albums to print, not just because they're all superb, but because they'd been out of print for years. Also, Los Angeles and Wild Gift had only been available as a two-fer, without original artwork and with rushed sound (they were released in the first wave of CD reissues, after all). One listen to Los Angeles confirms that this reissue campaign is a first-rate labor of love. True, it might be easy to wish that there were more than five bonus tracks, but all five are excellent -- an early demo of "I'm Coming Over," a demo of "Delta 88," a rehearsal runthrough of "Cyrano de Berger's Back," and danger-house versions/mixes of "Adult Books" and "Los Angeles." Two of these -- "Delta 88" and "Cyrano de Berger's Back" -- never showed up on proper albums, which makes their presence welcome, and the early versions are raw and vibrant. Then again, the album itself isn't exactly timid, either, and it sounds better than ever in this remastering. Topped off with liner notes with Kristine McKenna, this is a terrific package -- a perfect way to start the series and a perfect compliment to Rhino's other landmark 2001 punk reissue, the Ramones' first album.

August 01, 2003: America as many of us found it in 1980, no cable TV, no internet, no jobs, and here you have a new generation of artists coming into their own. This debute album pulls out all the stops with murder, money, and madness tempered by a distinctively American and literate vision. Former Door's keyboardist Ray Manzerak produces bringing much to an already talented foursome. Yes, "The Worlds A Mess, It's In My Kiss". Here we have a stunning debute by, at the time, America's most important rock band. MoonHog Review

September 11, 2001: X has been one of the most original, and brilliant artists ever. Still playing after over two decades, their live shows are still killer. I know i'm going to hear these re-releases even more times than the original CDs and cassettes. John Doe, Exene Cervenkova, Billy Zoom, and DJ Bonebrake are the original members, and they are very talented. I love them.
