What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library



Fourth album from this Boston based band, amd not very good for me. Not that much different from their previous efforts, but I think I was getting burnt out with that new wave stuff by this point. The 2 sides of this record should have been labeled good side and bad side as that's how they ranked for me. Too heavy on the synthesizer and the programmed hand claps I think. The album did quite well though, reaching #9 on the U.S. charts with the single of the title track hitting #2. Band members would temporarily split to pusue solo projects after this album.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Maybe Baby

Best Track - Cruiser

big city noise disappears
sucker punch is in your heart
light is reason light is due
my shape is shapeless in your suit

chrome red eyeballs reflect and roll
a simple sun is slowly sinking
roman shoes and pretty hats
glitter bombs that beat the beat

you comb the night 'cause you're a cruiser
and ya you never get enough
when you're cruisin' down the street
and takin' off the heat
when you're on the moonlight run
(cruiser)
(cruiser)

floating jets and big vignettes
get the treatment grab a cab
set aside the screaming fish
tell the world why you're so glad

flip the switches pull the plug
you always wait for better news
you need a hit you need a slu-ug
you don't easily get amused

you comb the night 'cause you're a cruiser
and ya you never get enough
when you're cruisin' down the street
and you're takin' off the heat
when you're on the moonlight run
(cruiser)
well you're a cruiser
(cruiser)
cruiser
(cruiser)
cruiser
(cruiser)
