Vinyl Lovers 'This is the Modern World', The Jam

The band's second album, released in 1977 just after their debut record. Despite little critical acclaim at the time, the album does have its shining moments ("Life From a Window" and "The Modern World", for example). It is also interesting as a piece of history for its lyrical content, which, as the album's title promised, is a snapshot of a day in the life of the declining British Empire during the late 1970s.
