Buzzcocks: A Different Kind Of Tension (1979)

The third Buzcocks record was released in the UK in September 1979, but the Canadian release --which I have -- dropped in 1980. From Wikipedia:

In a contemporary review of A Different Kind of Tension, Mikal Gilmore of Rolling Stone felt that the album suffered from repetitiveness, "resulting in a catchall of reworked riffs and static, similar tempos", while nonetheless praising it as their "most formidable record yet". In a retrospective review, Rolling Stone's Jon Dolan called A Different Kind of Tension the best of the band's first three albums. In Uncut, David Cavanagh observed that the album was divided between an unsurprisingly punk-flavoured first half and an experimental second half which harkened to the future. [source]

My memory is that the Buzzcocks didn't get much airplay in North America, and far less than the UK. Or, maybe I as listening to the wring radio stations.
