Cassette Kids Uprising Reviews

The last really good SM album. Not their best, but this straddles their early inventive material such as I Travel and their tilt into stadium rock with Someone and Miracle. I prefer the more experimental tracks, such as King is White, but this is still a set full of great tunes that I loved at the time and still love now.

This sounded great 40 odd years on. The singles are utstanding. Promised You a Miracle straddles new romantic make up entering stadium rock. Never an easy - or wise - move. Impossible not to dance to this. In a weird way, natch. The tunes are given space to breathe. Who needs constant vocals anyway?
