There's so much depth to this album beyond the brilliant BIG HITTER singles. Jazz, primal therapy, synth prog - all get a look in. The songs are woven together, teasing of a concept, but keeping the overall story hidden from view. The Broken / Head Over Heels / return to Broken suite wasn't your usual pop album expectation at the time. I rarely give five stars. Big Chair would have received five stars from me back in 1985. Almost forty years on (!) and it still gives me great pleasure. A real treat to listen to.

A couple of good pop singles, but a lot of the rest sounded like daytime tv themes (The Working Hour, for example). Def not their best album and the production sounds very dated.
