No.1 In Heaven

A slight overdose of 80's vibe (although the album is from 1979, yes).

Been a while since a synth-heavy album has come through on the project. This was balanced just well enough to keep me interested all the way through without veering into cheese territory, though I could definitely feel my attention waning by the end. A fun listen and a good add.

If you play this during the orgy scene of Eyes Wide Shut, it makes both the movie and album better. After listening to this album, Spotify immediately played "Angst in my Pants" by this very band, which is better than any song on this album.

Quite a change from their earlier 70s output. I like the Moroder disco synth, but the songs are a little too similar. However, two of the big singles are great: Beat The Clock and The Number One Song…

I like that it was quick, and it was conceptually an interesting album however I’m not sure if there was enough substance to it.

Definitely not much like Kimono My House - a surprise find for me from the original 1001+ list - this disco-synth collection didn't (doesn't?) hit me at all the same way, and for a bit treaded dangerously close to annoying territory. It's the vocals which obviously are the same as on the previously-mentioned album but whereas they seemed humorously campy there, here they distract. I will say on a very positive note that some of these synth lines/sounds are tremendous and very 1979 in the best possible way. What drags this to the dreaded boring level is the rhythm, in/on every song. The same repetitive disco beat without any variance or creativity. I might have liked more with organic and human drums/percussion but I guess that wasnt what they were going for. Ironically sounds like they were belatedly following trends here. Unfortunate pass. 3/10 2 stars IMO: Belonged in the book? No.

Punk band decides to go disco — film at 11. And did someone say Giorgio Moroder? He would make Beethoven’s 5th sound like this. Just way too synthy for one to get into or take seriously, but yes, sure, for 1979, it sounds awfully 1981, or '82, or '83.

This sounded dated.

This just wasn’t for me. The hyper pop and synth sound of the 80s was heavy in this and it didn’t resonate with me. I found the upbeat music and fast paced lyricism to be dated. Even though this was 79 it listens like 80s and the 80s have always been hit or miss with me. This one was a miss. 4.5/10

Nothing special

Well, the eighties. What shall I say. Nothing really spectacular came out of this era. At least in my humble opinion. And this certainly falls under that umbrella. That high pitch vocal really gets on my nerves.
