    Badmotorfinger is a masterclass in amplification, intelligence and artistic chutzpah. [3 Dec 2016, p.52]

    Listening back now it’s an album that would have sounded fresh and vital released at any time over the past quarter century.

    It’s a package that’s pretty hard to improve on but this anniversary edition tries its damnedest to turn things up to eleven.
