Released in 1985, 5 years after the band's epochal 1980 debut LP, X-Aspirations, At Home With You saw Australia's X reconfigured with Cathy Green on drums, providing a hard-hitting pounding beat for bassist Ian Rilen and guitarist Steve Lucas to work their songs around. Produced by Lobby Lloyd, At Home With You is an absolutely classic slice of Aussie punk rock, featuring raw, guttural tracks like "Degenerate Boy", "Oxford Street Nick" and "All Over Now", but mixing it up with brass-laden tracks such as "The Feel" and "T.V. Glue" and the balladry of "Don't Cry No Tears".
It is, in some sense, the band's Eternally Yours to the debut's (I'm) Stranded, if you will - a more mature, eclectic take on the X sound, but one still featuring Steve Lucas's jagged guitar work and howling, ragged vocals, Ian Rilen's bass pummel and Cathy Green's stop-on-a-dime 4/4 rhythms.
