Prindle Record Reviews: Boy Mark Prindle's review: "This isn't radio-ready overproduced rock - it's rough-around-the-edges art rock in the vein of early Public Image Limited (with more emphasis on guitar) - a darned fine attempt to combine the amateurish feel of punk with the emotional moodmaking of all those silly types of music that aren't punk." Rating: 8/10. http://www.markprindle.com/u2a.htm#boy Reviews Rating: Not yet Rated
