With an aptly stark cover and a division into "black" and "white" sides, Black and White was immediately notable for its tougher sound and attitude, and a merciful lack of songs about how awful women were.
Instead, bassist Jean-Jacques Burnel offered takes on the homoerotic machismo of Yukio Mishima (Death and Night and Blood) while lead vocalist Hugh Cornwell mused on tanks (Tank), robots (Rise of the Robots) and, er, Sweden (Sweden).
Along the way, songs like Threatened, In the Shadows and Curfew layered on the menace big time, all helped by Martin Rushent’s best production for the band yet. Beefy yet minimal, it displayed clear influences on the work of Gang of Four and Joy Division.
