I remember the NME ****ing all over their pages about this band. I never bought any of their records but I had a fair amount of their material hidden on poorly marked mix tapes I would make when visiting anybody with a stereo and a record collection back then. I recognized a few of these songs. I think the critics thought this might be a guiding force through the 90’s but instead it’s more of a culmination of 80s pop culture. Honestly, this record is really subtle and would take more time than I’m willing to invest to appreciate. I didn’t really get it the first time either. I voted liked it. I know it’s good but I never really developed an appreciation for it so that’s on me.
