A little synth heavy in parts for me, but I can handle it. The bands third album and the first to chart in the
states, even though a low #94. The Brits were on top of it though at #7. Think I went back and picked up the
previous one after hearing this, based on the opening track here, Love Vigilantes. Love that but nothing else meets
it. Thought that was a single but it only shows The Perfect Kiss and Sub-culture. They missed the boat on that one.
Not that those aren't decent tracks, only seeing action on the dance charts here. One instrumental in the eight
tracks which is a waste. It was featured in some short film that was Oscar nominated so at least some use was made
of it. That's the only track I don't like. Don't have any of their albums other than those two. Did I miss anything?
