Opus Dei
LaibachIndustrial is not a genre that I've ever really listened to having dismissed it as the soundtrack of every decadent, dark, bare brick nightclub, that's probably owned by a vampire. At times it could be Eurovision, and there's a definite 80's synth vibe. It's fun though, and the use of some John Heartfield art, along with some easy to understand German bumped it from a 3 to a 4.

Hail To the Thief
RadioheadInteresting musically, and not that samey, most of the tracks grab my interest until Thom starts whining. It's really hard to discern the lyrics, but not in a Cocteau Twins way, it's just unpleasant to listen to. Not sad and moody, just dreary.

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)
Simple MindsI remember giving Simple Minds a good try back then, and just not getting it. I haven't changed my mind. The mix is unnecessarily muddy and dull, a poor imitation of The Lexicon of Love or The Luxury Gap.
