Rip It Up

Rip It Up is the second album by Scottish post-punk band Orange Juice, released in 1982. It contains their hit song of the same name, which reached the Top 10. The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Critical reception Trouser Press wrote that the album "explores the first album's ingenuousness in greater depth with thought-provoking results... Though young love remains the theme, tension has replaced cuteness." Neil Tennant of Smash Hits gave the album an 8 out of 10 and wrote that "no one can accuse them of being twee anymore ... a big step forward which they can be proud of and you can enjoy."
