Of course the music will resonate differently in a completely different era, so I can only speak from experience my friend.
Very odd since their music is generally said to be extremely polished(even todays music isn't as polished as that), a lot of cases of lexicon reverb(I knew this since the Lexicon is very popular in the 80s soo much that the gated snare drum from the 80s that we know came from the use of the lexicon combined with the gate on the snare drum) for example is everywhere in their songs, and this polish nature of the song obviously causes the production to date specifically to the 80s as that kind of production went out of style since Nirvana's Nevermind, no songs today as far as I know made use of the lexicon.
