Interesting to start this project off with this album! I actually did listen to the extended? deluxe? version for the first time recently after walking out of the theater high off the needle drop at the end of MARTY SUPREME. "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is obviously one of the greatest songs of all time, but "Head Over Heels" might be more of my personal favorite. Listening to the latter with really great headphones feels euphoric. It's so very 80s which is why I feel like I should like it more than I do, but the slower songs don't really do it for me. But my god — when it hits, it hits! Other highlights: Shout, Mothers Talk
