About this album
Whilst commercially successful, the album also drew criticism for containing new versions of the group’s (already much-remixed) hit singles from the same year (“Relax” and “Two Tribes”, plus B-side “War”), as well as a surfeit of cover versions in lieu of much new original material.
However, the album’s evergreen ballad “The Power of Love” would subsequently provide the group with their third consecutive UK number one single.

Original material completely owns the covers.

All those remixes in retrospect just showed the incredible creativity/productivity of Trevor Horn.

this album was a slowburn for me in terms of appreciating how good it is. first time listening to it, i only dug about 2-3 songs, the second time about 5-6 songs, the third time about 8-9 songs, eventually by the fifth time...i pretty much loved the entire album.

I decided to try it because you can't go wrong with Trevor Horn's production wizardry (srsly guy is one of my all-time fave producers), and then I realised this is basically an entire album of DAT BASS. There's just so much bass action in it!

great album, imo.

I disagree - born To Run was blah, but the stuff after was experimental and original and odd. There were a couple of good ballads in there, too. This is a widely underrated album. when it came out as a double, it was the best, and not many people had it in the NY area that I knew of. A personal pleasure, not something id normally let people in on...

The CD is missing Ferry and The Power of Love. War is also not as good as on the LP, it just drones on about bring out your dead, while the LP is actually a song. I recorded the LP and put it on my ipod. Saw them in Oakland with Belouis Some in '85.

What an amazing masterpiece of 80's-pop! Right from the start, they'll let you know, that you're in for some ride! ;)

pretentious as hell, gorgeous, lovely, gritty, ethereal....mmmmm....pretentious only because it was their first album presented as a double LP gatefold package. they took a Hell of a chance by doing that...yet, they lived up to their hype, kinda like Desperate Housewives.....
