Classic Albums I have never heard

I don't really get all the hype over The Lexicon Of Love, like you said the singles are great but there's not much else on there.
Pelican West by Haircut 100 was released around the same time & I think it's a much better album but it doesn't get anywhere near the attention Lexicon gets.

Yeah it's like some bands I think were just better off releasing singles. Compare this to "Dare!" Even though I loved the singles and they were really successful, it's a great album in its own right. "Lexicon" seems built around the singles rather than the other way around, and by and large, the surrounding material isn't anywhere near strong enough to support those pillars. I wouldn't say epic fail but I really am struggling to see what anyone could see on this album were you to remove the singles from it.
