Blitz – Voice of a Generation – Review

Blitz

Voice of a Generation (Dojo)
by Joshua Brown

This 1982 LP belongs near the top of the list of the best punk albums of all time alongside those of Fear, the Misfits, DKs, Sex Pistols, X-Ray Spex, etc. Blitz had a guitar sound that could cut through metal or glass, and vocal melodies that painfully tattooed themselves onto one’s consciousness. Though there are essential Blitz tunes that aren’t on this album (check out Blitz Hits on Cleopatra), Voice of a Generation is their definitive LP.
