Very repetitive

Toxic and angry

Another exceptional album over forty years later following Sons and Fascination. Heavy with synthesizer reflecting its prominence as a musical instrument at the time; nevertheless, the bass lines of Derek Forbes and Jim Kerr's singing also stand out. I was fortunate to be able to hear them perform much of this album along with Sparkle in the Rain at the Kingswood Theatre in Toronto in July 1984
