Production on this is Tears For Fears tier

Album Rating: 4.0

Just checked this out and it was good but uh those two bonus tracks absolutely destroy anything on the actual album.

Album Rating: 4.0

The main album grew on me enough that it can say I properly love it on its own but again, “In Shreds” and “Nostalgia” are God-tier songs.

Album Rating: 4.5

This whole shebang is stupid pretty, some days my fave of the first 3

Easily my fav

Strange Times > Script > this for me

Album Rating: 4.5

Hmm Strange Times is always bottom of the pile for me. Script is usually tops for all that bleak restraint, but in the right mood this is the ticket

The random Beatles interpolation at the end of “Singing Rule Brittania” is probably the only truly misguided songwriting decision in the band’s 80s catalogue.

Album Rating: 4.5

after a few listens it is definitely a grower, wonder where's the saturation point?

I realized that the guitar at the start of "On the Beach" is strikingly similar to The Smith's "Some Girls are Bigger Than Others". Given that this was released earlier, I wonder if that's a coincidence, is it my ear/brain playing jokes, or Johnny Marr was ripping off The Chameleons?

They do sound similar. I say that guitar part should be in every song ever made.

Finally jamming this one. Fucking rulez so much. Had only ever jammed the debut which is also amazing.

Amazing album, bump. I love the dreamy opener, like entering Twin Peaks for the first time.
