All that Sex Pistols and The Clash shit you can shove, cos this album is where punk was at, ok Siouxsie was part of that little band of tossers with the Pistols but after that they not only did a good couple of punk / post punk albums they became one of the best Goth bands this country has ever witnessed.
The Scream is a joy to behold, its raw, off balance, chaotic at times, savagely crass and even the goth was there then ( overground ), Nictotine Stain and Metal Postcard whine and glide as Siouxsie yelps her vocals and the guitars strain behind her.
The Scream is a classic punk album never applauded in those crap Top 100 nosebleed moment TV shows on the tiresome digital channels. Its not rock n roll like the Ramones, its not white blokes doing Reggae like The Clash, its not a made up band like the Pistols. Its unadultered angst and its fucking smashing!!
