MOG Editorial Review

Just as post-punk was beginning to take shape in 1979, UK act Gang of Four embodied its artistically inclined, funky side with the release of Entertainment!. The band managed to distill intelligent political fury in a way that England's first wave never could, invoking Marxism in their lyrics while managing to create killer choruses. Instead of belting their lyrics out as quickly as possible, they had musical ambition that extended beyond three chords, embracing groovy basslines that made punk danceable for the first time in a way that would later get copied by bands like the Rapture decades later (especially standout track "Not Great Men.") Even though they sprang up in an era of similarly influential bands, Entertainment! is all the evidence you need to see Gang of Four's effect on music with a sound that feels as relevant today as it did over three decades ago.
AMG Review of Entertainment! [Rhino Expanded]

All Music Guide

Entertainment!, the album that made the word "angular" immortal, has gone in and out of print a number of times since 1979, but it has never had any trouble finding new ears. Copies of the original issue on vinyl, the Infinite Zero/American reissue on CD, and thousands of worn-out dubs on cassette have been passed around throughout the years. It's one of those gateway albums that cracks open a new perspective for people who hear it for the first time, often dropping new converts down the post-punk rabbit hole -- on to Joy Division, Wire, PiL, Magazine, the Slits, the Pop Group, Swell Maps, and maybe all the way down to bIG fLAME. Whether first heard in 1979, 1985 (after Big Black, the Minutemen, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers), 1995 (after Fugazi, Jawbox, and Rage Against the Machine), or 2004 (after the Rapture, the Futureheads, and Franz Ferdinand), Entertainment! has always startled. When Michael Azerrad pulls a Natalie Portman, mentioning in his liner notes of this reissue that the album is life-changing, he might not be exaggerating. This, Rhino's 2005 spin on the album, is a minor improvement on Infinite Zero/American's 1995 edition. Like its predecessor, it includes the four-song Yellow EP (featuring the essential "Outside the Trains Don't Run on Time"). Raw alternate versions of "Guns Before Butter" and "Contract" are added, as well as a pair of live cuts: "Blood Free," an insignificant song that never made it past the stage, and a roll through the Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane." If you have the 1995 reissue, you can hold off without missing much. Better yet, pick this up and give your old copy to someone you love, as long as he or she promises to not start a band that sounds anything remotely like Gang of Four.
