Receiving a wave of appraisal from music journalists, lead guitarist Damian O039Neill recollected The Undertones debut album as being the best they released, stating that it 34summed us up. It still sounds fresh. The exuberance, the excitement, we were all still teenagers, more or less. It039s probably my favourite record still, the first album, because it039s got that freshness, which is wonderful.Numerous polls conducted since 1979 have placed The Undertones as one of the greatest albums to be released in the 1970s and one of the Top 40 punk new wave albums of all time.
