opening track The Things That Dreams Are Made Of and Love Action are good. Abba + Kraftwerk = Human League.

The perfect synth-pop album of the 80s, Dare's steely stare is nonetheless intimidating. Whether musing on nucleur war or Judge Dredd, it's electronic revolution is absorbing.

I think I hated Joy Division and other bands like that because they all sounded like the Human League to me. I heard Don't You Want Me on the radio the other day and it amazes me how that is still a great song and still anticipates so much that has come after it.

I believe that the relatively low score of 73 for this album reflects the number of purists or 'rockers' - or whatever you want to call them - who want to immediately attack it because it's heavily based on the synthesizer. Or, they know only the hit song and can't appreciate it (see comment regarding 'worst single ever'). Make no mistake, it is a great single: fantastic hook, well-constructed, wonderfully produced. The album is actually a lot more forward-looking than its slightly dated synth makes it sound. A very good album, almost a great one.

"It took seconds ... " is how one of the songs starts. Well, it will only take you seconds to become totally addicted to this eighties monument !!!!
