Released on April 15, 1977, The Stranglers’ debut album Rattus Norvegicus (initially titled Stranglers IV) remains one of the most commercially successful, musically accomplished, and deeply controversial records to emerge alongside the UK punk explosion. While the band rode the "Summer of Hate" wave, they were older, sharper musicians than their peers, bridging the gap between pub-rock grit, new wave hooks, and unhinged psychedelic prog.
