The Sound - Jeopardy (2012 Reissue) (CD)

Jeopardy is the debut album released by British post-punk band THE SOUND. Unlike the band's later work, this album would present an array of fast, punchy songs in strong punk (and post-punk) style, as opposed to the later, more tempered releases such as Heads and Hearts and Thunder Up. However, songs such as I Can't Escape Myself and Hour of Need provide a clear indication of Borland's stirringly personal, desperate lyrics - a recurring and distinctive feature of almost all of the band's future material.
