"This is a very 80s-ish album but it still manages to refrain from being cheesy. Avalanche and Shut Up And Dance are two of my favorite songs ever. I highly recommend this album!"  Reply

"I bought this album on vinyl when it first came out and probably haven't listened to it in over twenty years. I had forgotten how good it sounds, particularly how good the vocals are. Severina is my favourite track. There are hints to U2 imo."  Reply
