Honestly, just a lot of very solid pop-rock and new-wave-inspired tunes throughout this thing. Rather than a coherent flow between all the tracks, in both subject matter and theme, it feels more like the greatest hit collection from the band. It's certainly a product of its time (like on the song "Walk of Life) with rasped vocals delivered by Mark over a cutesy and cheesy synth lead melody. Despite it being an 80s pop-rock staple that I've heard many times before, I can safely say it still holds up. Just as cheesy is the saxophone melody that kicks off "Your Latest Trick", maybe less to its benefit though. I can't say I enjoyed the more subdued and intimate sound presented in this song. "Why Worry?" is one of my favorite tracks on here. Something about it reminds me of a later-era VU track (probably because I see many similarities between Mark and Reed's vocals). It's a track with a comforting message but above all else, it's the incredible sounding instrumentation and the patient build-up over its 8-and-a-half-minute runtime. There's almost an ambient element to the serene latter half with the dusty drum loop, guitar plucking, and dreamy synth work. My favourite song though has to be the title track. It's a slow-building, synth-backed song with probably my favorite lyrics by Mark here. Mark's tribute about recovering war-torn individuals or battle-ravaged lands is marked with surreal astronomic imagery relating to the difficulty of overcoming one's self. It's also sprinkled with messages calling for peace in the world by putting everyone's sense of individualism into a grand-scheme perspective. Nothing to dislike about this track, it's a gorgeous closer. Some other favorite production moments are the strange tribal drums on "Ride Across the River" and the sudden crashing guitar chords on "The Man's Too Strong". I will say though, listening to this thing, you tend to notice all the worst tropes and staples of 80s popular music. I also feel like a lot of the songs after the first three tend to be less memorable (aside from the couple I mentioned). Aside from that though, this was still a highly enjoyable first listen.
