Editorial Review:

Album Details:
Originally Released in 1977, this was Richard Hell's First Album. This reissue contains two bonus tracks, plus an alternate take of 'Down at the Rock and roll Club' in place of the album version.

Amazon.com:
If the title track didn't sum up an entire generation, it certainly captured the frazzled swagger of early punk rock. Launched from New York City's famous C.B.G.B. nightclub, the Voidoids released this debut in 1977, around the same time as Television's Marquee Moon. A rewrite of an old cornball Beat song, 'Blank Generation' echoes the Sex Pistols's cries of 'no future.' 'Love Comes in Spurts,' the 1977 album's other classic, is a double-entendre both playful and menacing. The rest is the sound of Hell's nervous voice rubbing up against Robert Quine's equally nervous electric-guitar playing and an unyielding rhythm section. Steve Knopper

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Makes me proud to be an american!
Richard Hell was probably one of the first artists on the american punk scene. He most likely got the Ramones fired up and going. Not a bad cut on this one! NO SIREEE BOB!

Richard Hell & The Voidoids-Blank Generation *****


Love may come in spurts but the amount of classic music Richard Hell released in the 1970's did not. As one fourth of Television along side Tom Verlain, (although he went by Richard Lloyd) Hell made one of the top albums of all time with Marque Moon. After leaving Television he joined the great Johnny Thunders(New York Dolls) to form Johnny Thunders & The Heartbrakers. No not same heartbrakers as Tom Petty's band, Hells came first and was far better. After recording yet another classic album L.A.M.F. with them he left and formed his own band, The Voidoids. The Voidoids was a way for Hell to breath life into his poetry which was what he really wanted to do more then anything.

Blank Generation is really and essential document of its time. Dressing artful ambitions in a nihilistic apathy, and using fusion on the cross-purposes ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Classic!!
One of the bands that started it all way back in 77. Which was a good year for music I thought although this was where alot of my friends dropped off the boat. I couldn't get enough of this record when it first came out and although I have moved into other things musically, I still love this record. Robert Quine is brillant and the band is killer too so if you are new to this one or the scene back then in general this is the best of places too start!!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - classic album from a punk pioneer
The British punk scene turned "punk" into a fashion trend, and ultimately into a parody of itself, with its stereotypical buzz saw guitars, spiked hair, etc., becoming totally conformist. Prior to that, the music movement was born out of a scene comprising of a relatively small number of bands centered around lower Manhattan in NYC. Richard Hell helped found 3 of those bands - Television, the Heartbreakers, and then his own Richard Hell & the Voidoids. Unlike the later scene, these original bands were a highly eclectic and creative bunch, most of whom didn't even fit the mold of the stereotypical "punk" sound.

If you listen to this album you won't hear the buzz saw guitars, and most of the vocals are sung, not hollered. It even closes with a (very tongue-in-cheek) cover of a Tin Pan Alley ballad. Which isn't to say that it doesn't rock out, but it does so in much more of a garage-band sort ... Read More
