Metal Box (1979)

Jah Wobble anchored Public Image Ltd's radical second album with earth-shaking, sub-heavy basslines soaked in dub reggae technique. Pieces such as Albatross and Poptones discard traditional rock structures in favour of monolithic, repetitive grooves that dominate the mix. His cavernous low-end provides the hypnotic spine around which Keith Levene's brittle guitar shards collide.
