Critical acclaim for ‘Inflammable Material’

The album received critical acclaim in the music press. Paul Morley , in a contemporary review for NME , stated that “Inflammable Material is the classic punk rock record. A crushing contemporary commentary, brutally inspired by blatant bitter rebellion and frustration”. Morley would go on to state that “Stiff Little Fingers are the best rock’n’roll band in my world… By the end of 1978 [they] were the most popular new group in Britain.”
