I have put this vinyl on this evening for the first time in over twenty years! To be honest I never really liked it much at the time of buying it. It was recommended by the record store manager who got to know my musical tastes at the time. I had hoped it would be akin to Silent Running and Ten Yen which it isn't. However, in playing it again I find it more listenable and probably a bit closer to U2 if anything. Some of the lyrics are a bit cheesy and the vocals are not the strongest but it's made up for by the drums and guitar work. I'll probably give it a spin once in a while. Maybe 10 years next time! Best track is the title track.
