Twentieth Century (CD)

Twentieth Century, Cold Chisel's final studio album (for the next 15 years) was a scorching send-off for a band that in ten years had elevated itself into the national psyche as its best and best-loved act. Although the passion was waning, the songs here carry Chisel's inimitable brand: the searing roughhouse rock of "Hold Me Tight", "Painted Doll", "Twentieth Century" and "Ghost Town," as well as the dull red-light roar of "Saturday Night" and "Flame Trees".
