Reviews: "It's all-purpose chaos; it's brilliant! Where can you go when you're that far gone?" (NME, April 1980); "A chaotic brand of funk from a funny farm" (Sounds, August 1980); "Blurt are the most appropriately named group encountered for some considerable period of time... It's the incompleteness of their music which provides its grab. Don't just listen, participate (great music for bass players to practice to). As Brilleaux would say, eight bars on the bass" (NME, January 1981)
