it took me a while to get into this record . i bought it based on a reccomendation at the record store & after a while it grew on me. i find that the best music out there takes a while to penetrate. give it a chance. i recommend the new romance.

The New Romance is a fantastic cd. I would've loved to have been able to see them live.

I think Elan Vital would have been seen as a transition record for them had they stayed together. Their sound was going in a new direction.
