These days, The Undertones are probably best known for "Teenage Kicks" from their first album - John Peel's all-time favourite record - and their debut was, indeed, a gem. Their second album, however, is an absolute masterpiece. Their first album caught the tail-end of the punk explosion but "Hypnotised" showed them to be that generation's prime purveyor's of pop perfection. This is an album that deserves to be called a classic!
Every song on Hypnotised are magically in focus; short but sharp, they are like a shards of broken mirror catching a bright flash of the sunlight ... "He's got a fur-lined sheepskin jacket. My Ma said it cost a packet"
This album proves that the chemistry of youth works better than any drug!
