Reviews

  • Glennogden1969's avatar
    Glennogden1969
    A very solid pressing of this popular album. It's a classic 80s stadium rock sound with a winning mix of disciplined reverb allied to precision clarity for the instrumentation. The bass really pumps without overwhelming the other elements. While other acts from this period and genre multi-tracked their efforts to death resulting in some horrible mixes (cough, cough U2), this is a sonic treat and a strong set of popular tunes. An accessible, commercial album but it doesn't make it any less worthy.

      I feel bad for the people who refuse to see past Dont You Forget About me. The entire scope of their discography is astonishing. This album is phenomenal.
      Get down on it.
