No.1 In Heaven

The music from the 80's for me itsn't by definition a lost era. There's still a lot of really cool stuff that originated in the 80's. It might border on guilty pleasure or pure nostaliga, but still it can have its charm. Sparks is a difficult one though. This album has its moments, but also some cringeworthy bits and pieces. In the end it balances out to the positive: 3/5

Not bad

Don't want to say its a generic 80's record... but its a generic 80's record (coming from someone who loves 80's music). Aside from that, there is already a Sparks album in the list.

No. 1's a particularly immaculate showing by sparks, with gargantuan songs on the same old basis. Their best I've heard was curled around loops; Tempo is the pit on this record. The characteristic attitude shines through more than a flow per se, hands pulling you back onto the dance floor again and again.

Sort of like if Freddie Mercury and Kraftwerk got together and decided to make a disco album. Not really my thing, but not boring! 3 stars.

Music from the future

What if The Killers and ELO formed a supergroup? This sounds SO 70s and also SO 80s and SO 2000s. Really a fun ride and a RARE instance of me wishing it was a longer album!

While I admit I've never been a fan of Sparks, their image, their album covers, and their strange way of being cool have always attracted me, let alone the project 'Annette', what a masterpiece. It's a shame that their songs haven't done it for me as much. Of what I had heard from them, their first album had always occupied the top spot in my favorites... until now. Thanks for suggesting it

8/10. I like that you can read the title as No One in Heaven if you want to. Also the music was pretty cool.

Sparks are always a fun listen. 7/10

Solid entry in the electronica/disco vein, very much of its era. The more theatrical presentations aren't really my thing but I can appreciate it.

Electro Sparks. I'll take it. I'm a sucker for sequencers.

Kind of interesting electro… dance? I could see this definitely growing on me a bit more.

Well this was just way too much gosh darn fun. Oodles of fun, even. Scrumptious.

I enjoyed this while it was on, but I feel like it covers a part of music that was already covered in the list.

Pensais pas avoir autant de fun a ecouter quand je suis tomber sur cet album, 3.5 cest explosif .

Electrónica

This was produced by the legendary Giorgio Moroder and it influenced (arguably) the greatest single of all time - Joy Division's Love will tear us apart, so what could go wrong? Well its corny and dated as hell, but I'll give it an extra point for being highly influential.

jesus christ.

It's dumb, but nowhere near as dumb as the Sparks album in the book...and after half an hour of this, that's saying something. I guess in the 7 years since _Kimono my House_ (uurrgh) they had time to experiment with disco beats? Everything is dripping in that annoying new wave production I don't like, but... that was just the time, I guess. La Dolce Vita is an alright song. but it's just too SILLY for me.
