Bundles (album)

Bundles is the second studio album by the British rock band Gang of Four. It was released in 1981 on EMI Records in the United Kingdom and Warner Bros. Records in the United States. Bundles represents a shift in the band's sound, incorporating more funk and dance-punk influences, as well as a greater emphasis on production techniques. It received a mixed reception upon release, with some critics praising its experimental nature and others criticizing its perceived lack of focus compared to their debut album, Entertainment!. The album explores themes of consumerism, political disillusionment, and relationships in a more fragmented and less overtly confrontational manner than its predecessor. Despite the mixed critical reception, Bundles remains a significant album in Gang of Four's discography, demonstrating their willingness to evolve and experiment with their sound. It features the singles "To Hell With Poverty" and "What We All Want." The album title refers to a concept that satirizes economic practices.
