 "Donald Duck and Adolf Hitler. Have you ever imagined them together? Walt Disney did, in one of the most unknown and crazy animated shorts ever made."

 "The scene of the artillery shells coming to life surrounding the poor Donald is pure madness and at times recalls the animations from Pink Floyd’s 'The Wall' by Alan Parker."

 A sugary sound, drowned under layers of icing like a damn wedding cake.

 Combing Johnny is like ironing Tom Waits' clothes or forcing Lemmy to bathe. You just don't do it, period.

The review dissects Public Image Limited's 1989 album '9' as the band's weakest effort, mainly due to overly polished production and uninspired compositions. While acknowledging John Lydon's unique genius and past experimental successes, the album is critiqued for straying too far from PIL's original raw and innovative sound. Despite a few noteworthy tracks like 'Disappointed' and 'U.S.L.S.1', the album ultimately fails to deliver and is recommended only to dedicated fans seeking to complete their collection. Dive into the legacy of Public Image Limited and explore '9'—listen to the hits and judge for yourself.
