434 of 1001 Albums: Marianne Faithfull's Broken English

Marianne Faithfull would release her most popular album Broken English to controversy and fame. It does have a very interesting sound, and for females you'll be hearing words spoken for what I know is the earliest I've heard a woman use as strong as language. I'm sure it occurred earlier, but the attitude you get on the cover art is the attitude you get inside the album.

History: The album would be welcomed by critics upon it's release, and hit charts as well. It would also cause controversy with it's lyrics, particularly in the song where a lover is caught in infidelity, and the singer depicts how she will punish him. The lyrics also go on to explore other themes such as those about a housewife who is Catholic, and most are a personal reflection of the singer.
