I saw a review at AllMusic bashing this record. The reviewer seemed to have some facts wrong, and I completely disagree with the opinions. <em>Anything<\/em> is great. It&#8217;s a strange mix of the big goth sound, pseudo-classical interludes, and a soulful &#8217;60s rock. At times it sounds like a goth version of The Fleshtones. The title track, &#8220;Anything&#8221;, opens the album and it&#8217;s my favorite.<\/p>\n<p>We have two copies of <em>Anything<\/em>. My copy is the boring American release, but Mary&#8217;s copy is a great looking UK version with a gatefold cover and die-cut pop-up of the band inside. The UK version has a colorfully painted carving on the front with the unpainted version on the liner, and lyrics! The US version just has the unpainted carving on the front&#8230; and nothing else. Mary&#8217;s copy is pictured below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: The Damned Title: Anything Year: 1986 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
