The main points of grief with Wobble's debut album are his vocals — they're awful, most resembling a liquored up Colin Newman. Another criticism is that a couple of his syrupy basslines here are nicked from his PiL work; "Not Another" and "Blueberry Hill"'s lines are straight off Metal Box, so it's no small wonder why John Lydon quickly sacked him from the band. Aside from these gripes, it remains a pretty strong record. The Legend Lives On's finer moments often occur when Wobble's mouth is shut, or when he chants rather than sings. "Today Is the First Day of The..." and "Tales From Outer Space" feature nice and queasy synth effects and ample basslines. The record is largely guitar free, submerged in white reggae. Virgin's CD reissue adds seven bonus tracks, including a horn-laden remix of "Today Is the First Day" and the completely laughable and likely offensive "Dreadlock Don't Deal in Wedlock."
