Album dossier / 1981
The Flowers of Romance
Public Image Ltd. · Post-Punk
Recorded after bassist Jah Wobble's departure left a percussive void, PiL's third album stripped the low end almost entirely, foregrounding Martin Atkins' massive drums and John Lydon's wailing vocals for a stark, rhythm-driven record so radical Virgin initially balked at releasing it.
