Some critics have claimed that 999 (more HERE) really never had a particular point-of-view, unlike their class of '77 peers; The Sex Pistols (pro-anarchy), The Clash (pro-revolution) or The Damned (pro-smashing-it-up). Of course, when time moved on those very overwhelming points-of-view became hindrances to returning-to-form. Once you've backed off from such an all-consuming point-of-view, it's hard to just pick it back up. But for 999, with their straight-forward-but-intriguing subject matter (greed, murder, the inability to make it with girls), bouncing back after the mid-eighties-bottom-out all those artists went through was easy as one-two-three. Starting with 1993's You Us It!, 999 have released a trio of return-to-top-form albums. The middle album, 1998's Breakdown, is considered the go-to example of their on-going vitality. The guitars crackle, the rhythm section keeps a pub-rockin' beat and Nick Cash's voice remains startlingly familiar to thier glory days. On this out-of-print come-back, you get rip-roarers like "Fit Up", hang-em all put-downs like "Takeover" and even mid-tempo balladesque tracks like, "Damp With Tears". Check it out!
