I can't believe that no one has reviewed this album yet; the only explanation might be that "Punk's not dead" doesn't need any review.
The Exploited are one of those bands that have many peculiarities. First, they are one of the most famous Hardcore Punk bands in the universe, who, with their personal touch of self-taught diehards, flirt with banality while undeniably remaining geniuses. The second point, the one that catches the attention of the most seminal "street kids," is that as punks, they are not very believable (no offense), they hate everyone, they hate the multinational market, they are relentless preachers, yet when you see them perform, they are transported by double-decker buses... heheheh, I would say the great rock'n roll bluff.
Anyway, I'm here to talk about their music and not their way of hypnotizing with anarchic preaching kids who take them as oracles, only to drain their money with their bestselling albums. The band's strength is Wattie Buchan, his voice is anger, his voice is excess, his voice is the most direct way to describe anarchy. In this album, it also features the much-loved by nostalgics, Big John, a guitarist symbol of the first wave of "Exploited".
Listening to the album, there are no songs to discard. It starts with the crowd cheering the band with the classic motto "Barmy Army Exploited!" and then launches into the title track " Punk's not dead," of which there can't be many explanations; it's simply a classic. It continues with tracks like "Mucky Pup", "Cop Cars", "Free Flight" (damn, should I list all the songs?!) which are all battle horses of the band. For the masses, some of the best songs on the work are "S.P.G.", "Barmy Army Exploited" or "I Believe in Anarchy" without forgetting the particular "Sex in Violence".

02 Mucky Pup (01:42)
Go!
Well I pick my nose
then I eat it up
Im a real humdinger
Im a mucky pup
[Chorus:]
Im a mucky pup [x7]
Im a pup
Oh I don't take drugs
I've given glue up
But I stare at people
Im a mucky pup
Banjo!
Oh I see pretty girls
and I picked you up
Then my nipples go point-point
Im a mucky pup
Oh the nine o'clock news

I bleeding love her -
Angela Rippon!
She's got big tits
03 Cop Cars (01:49)
[Intro:]
Ne-nah, Ne-nah Cops are after me
Ne-nah, Ne-nah Cops are after me
Ne-nah, Ne-nah Cops are after me
Here they come
[Verse 1:]
You go to a pub a public place
They call you a sod you get in a fight
They draw their guns and they fuck you up
Then they put you away for life
[Chorus:]
I hate cop cars
I hate cop cars
Ne-nah, Ne-nah
I hate cop cars
[Verse 2:]
Downtown they want you to listen
Get moved on when you make phone calls
They don't care if their wrong or right
They don't care if your sods or cunts
[Chorus]
Let's hear ya!
I hate cop cars
I hate cop cars
I hate cop cars
I hate cop cars!
[Verse 1]
[Chorus]
05 Army Life (02:34)
Never give up, never give up, never give up the army
Join the army at seventeen
till you sware that you're a killing machine
three more rifles if they die
you got to do whatever the army says
Army life is killing me, me, me
Army life is killing me
Went to Belfast just for fucking fun
Walking about with my tommy gun
sit on a landmine, you wake up dead
you'll just be anounced in your local paper
Army life is killing me, me, me
Army life is killing me ... guitar...
Army life is killing me, me, me
Army life is killing me
The file is up, just the end of the morning
I gotta get up outta bed to teach
they walk to the gathering full of hate
you gotta do whatever the army says
Army life is killing me, me, me
Army life is killing me
Join the army to learn how to kill
Join the army to be a man
For our words an they want yours
is gotta do whatever army says
09 Royalty (02:05)
Sign me a picture of the queen now
Dirty little bitch, fucking little cow
Way down in there
It’s no fucking use
Gonna be a victim
Of the working class abuse
Why does the royalty make today
????
We’ll help you on your way
14 Son of a Copper (02:40)
Son of a copper but you’re a ?????
You better watch out or you’re gonna end up back inside
Your dad’s a cop, your dad was a screw
He wasn’t as soft with the other prisoners
He’s used to working with animals
And live in the zoo
I won’t end up like my dad
And I won’t end up being a screw
Interrogated for 14 days
I’ve got ????, I’ve got to pay
It wasn’t meant, it wasn’t me
And I’ve been framed
I didn’t really kill him
It wasn’t my fault
He came at me with a broken bottle
I tried to warn him I had a knife
And now he’s dead
I won’t end up like my dad
And I won’t end up being a screw
15 I Believe in Anarchy (02:09)
I Believe In Anarchy let's see you pogo!

I'm not ashamed of being a Punk
and i don't care and don't give a damn

cause i believe in anarchy
I I I I I'm not afraid
and I I I I I'm not ashamed
cause I stil believe in anarchy
Go to a pub and pick up a byrd
you take her back for the casual fuck
you drive her home in your old mans car
but you have to go duchess cause you've got no doms
[Chorus]
I'm not afraid of having a Fight
and i'm not ashamed about getting drunk
and i don't care what you say cause
I believe in Anarchy
16 Army Life (02:25)

Army life is killing me, me, me
Army life is killing me ... guitar...
Army life is killing me, me, me
Army life is killing me
The file is up, just the end of the morning

Army life is killing me
Join the army to learn how to kill
Join the army to be a man
For our words an they want yours

20 Dogs of War (01:43)
I've got a uniform.
And I'm okay.
Killing and ripping.
Just for a day.
[chorus:]
Dogs of war, but after you.
Dogs of war, but after you.
Dogs of war, but after you.
Dogs of war, BUT AFTER YOU.
Stab him with my pinner.
I'll shoot him with my gun.
I'm a psycho killer.
Just for fun.
[chorus]
Dogs of War.
Dogs of War..
Dogs of War...
Dogs of War....
What does it mean?
And I don't give a damn.
Let me forget.
Cause tomorrow you're dead.
[chorus]
