The band's music here is more "mainstream", accessible, we sometimes think of Simple Minds, but Adrian Borland's voice is still beautiful and touching, there are some very good tracks like "'Under you", "Whirlpool" , "One thousand reasons", "Love is not a ghost" and of course the wonderful classic "Total recall". A very nice album, even if not as strong as FROM THE LION'S MOUTH.

Starts off quite nicely, with 1 being a cool brassy song with a few surprises including the brassy conclusion, but rapidly falls off. It is a frustrating album, because everywhere there are hints of The Sound's older glories, but they almost systematically make relatively vapid songs out of those ideas. Because of these frustrations I'm maybe a little harsh. 8 is a prime example, as we get a nice chunky TS bass, the song gets exciting, and thennnn nothing it is just another meh song. There are some good bits - for example after 2 which reminded me of U2 again, 3 is more on the post-punk side again which is nice to see, but immediately after 4 is lame. 5 starts of cute although non-committal to its goth aesthetic, but gets quite flat frankly despite the sax additions. By 6 and 7 I had really lost hope for this - they get excited but I really don't. I nearly put this below 3.5 tier, but 10 despite being very short and not flowing well at all with the rest has cool ideas, and the conclusion track despite a meh intro unfolds quite well. Clearly not their best, about their worst so far even, and surprisingly few songs that could join a playlist - one of their first album with almost no fully successful tune. But tis alright I'm just a bit harsh because I loved their older stuff so much more. 3.25
