If you cut out "Sledgehammer" and "Big Time" and move "In Your Eyes" to be the final track, this becomes one of the best albums of the '80s.

The remaster version does have 'In Your Eyes' as the final track

I purchased this album, in the form of LP. It has remained in good condition, the music is in good condition. My list in the top 100.

A very good album by the genius Mr. Gabriel.
Generally I am not a fan of 80s, but this album is an exception.
Red Rain is my favorite track from the album.

Brilliant album and Red Rain stands out to me as one of the finest songs of the decade. Listened to this constantly when I first bought it. Actually want to listen to it now.

A brilliant album that on firsty listen sounds like a frivolous 80s pop album chock full of hits and on further listens reveals itself to be much better and darker than that. "We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37)" is completely haunting. Although I will add that I still don't think the album would work without "Big Time" or "Sledgehammer".
