Music and lyrics101 Damnations establishes the band's style, musically fusing drum machines, samples and guitars, and lyrically concerned with poverty and misery, and using extensive cultural references and puns.[1] Ned Raggett of Allmusic characterised the album's musical style as "brash, quick, punk/glam via rough early eighties technology pump-it-up pogoers" and described the heavy usage of puns as "Carter's calling card as much as anything".[1]"Sheriff Fatman" was highlighted as displaying the album's characteristic sound; Raggett said "the song itself may be about a total rat-bastard of a slumlord, but the name of the game is energy and fun."[1] "Good Grief Charlie Brown" alludes to broken families, and "An All-American National Sport" is about a homeless person set on fire by two strangers.[1] "G. I. Blues" is an anti-war song which closes the album.[1] Release and reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[3] }} The album was originally released in 1990, on Big Cat Records, then reissued on Chrysalis Records, peaking at number twenty-nine on the UK Albums Chart.[4] The album was recorded on a shoestring budget,{{fact|date=July 2017}} and was widely praised at the time of its release in the music press ("Staggering.." concluded the Melody Maker review for example) as a refreshing antidote to the drug-infused 'baggy' scene that was prevailing at the beginning of the 1990s. Whilst most of the chart contemporaries were extolling the virtues of ecstasy and hedonism, Carter USM offered a bleak worldview of social injustice, moral decay and urban violence. Their twin guitars, played over banks of keyboards, programmed sequencers and a drum-machine, drew comparisons in some critics' eyes to a 'punk Pet Shop Boys'.{{fact|date=July 2017}} One single was released from the album, "Sheriff Fatman", a commentary on unscrupulous private landlords, which became a major indie hit before being reissued again a couple of years later and finally peaking at number 23 in the UK singles charts. A 2011 reissue featured five bonus tracks including the single which followed the release of the album, "Rubbish", plus their cover version of Pet Shop Boys' "Rent". LegacyIn a retrospective review, Ned Raggett of Allmusic gave the album four and a half stars out of five, saying "in the duo's own unusual way, Carter were something of a unique and thrilling prospect at its best, which the highlights of Damnations show."[1] Trouser Press called it a "fully realised debut" and "mind-blowing in the most stimulating sense."[5] At the end of 1990, NME ranked it at number 29 in their list of the top 50 "Albums of the Year",[6] whilst Sounds included it number 36 in their own list of the year's top 50 best albums.[7] In 1992, NME ranked the album at number 19 in their list of the top 20 "Near-As-Dam-It Perfect Initial Efforts!"[8] Track listingAll tracks written and composed by Morrison and Carter; except where indicated.
