This album got me through a tough time in my teenage years .from a heavy metal boy /this was an absolutely refreshing sound ..played this record over and over .my late night friend.
37 years on & I can still recollect the lyrics word for word, wore out the original cassette tape & had to get it on vinyl. Still wear my leather with this album cover painted on the back panel, good times.
00:00 - Frightened 03:43 - Ambition 06:48 - Grandmother's Footsteps 11:14 - Better Than Them 14:27 - My Country 18:07 - No Greater Love 21:41 - No Rest 27:03 - Young, Gifted and Skint 30:13 - Drag It Down 33:33 - Shot 18 36:53 - The Attack
Brilliant album, great opener, great title track, great everything else - even if you do not agree with the politics, the lyrics are always thought-provoking and emotionally powerful, and the musicianship is spot on in every respect. Very highly recommended!!!!!😀😀😀
This album was one of the first vinyls I got when I was 16 and my mum gave me her old record player, I’m 32 now and it still hits regular rotation alongside Killing Joke’s debut album and Dead Can Dance’s debut. All three are fkn god tier 👌
I discovered NMA when Ghost of Cain was released in 86'...Wore the grooves off of my LP, saw them on that tour and met them after the show. Can't believe I'm just hearing No Rest now that I'm in my fifties
A great band. I remember being at Reading rock with my brother drinking at a pub when there came a growing sound that grew louder then I realised it was the sound of clogs coming from the train station. The Northern Army had come to see the band play reading. It must been 86 or 87. A cross between The CLash and Goth. Dark and Political.
NMA produced albums that you could listen to from start to end. A rare thing indeed. And when they were good, my god, they were good. No rest for example. What a song.
I feel like this is the album & band I've been looking for my whole life. I wish I'd found it sooner but it was worth the wait. It's the perfect album!
@@mulleinroots "Thunder and Consolation" is clearly my favorite record, fav tracks: Ballad of Bodmin Pill Green and Grey I Love the World Family Vagabonds I mean it's hits back to back. "Impurity" also has some all time favs like "Marrakesh" (!!!) and "Purity", then "The Love of Hopeless Causes" is also great with tracks like "Believe It" and "Here Comes the War". AND I'm currently discovering their two latest, "Winter" and "From Here". "Born Feral" and "Where I Am" are two of the greatest tracks of the 2010's IMHO.

Is it nostalgia, or was there something special about 80/90s punk, hardcore, metal and new wave. I have to think there was something special

Me too!!!

Meant to say I'm hearing it for the first time now. Loving it
Vengeance is great too
NMA are a great band especially live!

An album to be listened to in its entirety. Classic.

It’s 2024, and my wife and I are recalling a gig they gave in Lisbon like in 1993 or so….love this album….

New Model Army, todavía los sigo escuchando después de mas de 35 años.
Cuando tenía 13 años.
One of the best bans for me .
Really like their style
this is changing my whole life-i mean it to-reevaluating things now-and it sounds good too
I mean it sounds cheesy but NMA really has that power! Godspeed!
@@kaustik185 i agree-my friend told me there first two albums are the best-do you have any recommendations of their other albums?
@@mulleinroots "Thunder and Consolation" is clearly my favorite record, fav tracks:
Ballad of Bodmin Pill
Green and Grey
I Love the World
Family
Vagabonds
I mean it's hits back to back.

I roll a fat one in memory of listening to this in fall 1985 - Brighton Sean and Manchester Karl; this is for you.
I,am doing the same right now GreatZ from a old timer in The Netherlands
a banda Violeta de Outono deve ter ouvido isso 700 vezes antes de gravar, tirando o instrumental é tudo muito parecido!
Stuart morrow exellent bassiste
I thought moose was the bassist on this but he took over just after!
What is this for kind of music?
Post-punk
