Pop Art

Another submission of polarizing 80s music. The lame robotic sound. The unexciting synth electronic beats. It’s all been done and this album wasn’t very enjoyable with it. It was mediocre at best and another reason why some people dislike 80s music. But also why some others enjoy it. Not for me though. 4.1/10

A fun listen, even if some of the lyrics got annoyingly repetitive. The original list was lacking in quirky 80s pop like this, even if I don't see myself returning to this one it represents thoughtful coverage of a musical niche that deserves some recognition.

I thought this was alright, pretty standard new wave adjacent pop of its era, more interesting lyrical choices than much of a similar vein. The apparent critical hate it got in its times seems baffling.

This album certainly has its charms and works pretty well when the band leans more into their pop sensibility, but it's fairly unremarkable. I didn't dislike it, but it's basically the mall food court pizza chain of 80s music. It'll fill you up, but it's ultimately unsatisfying.

Pop rock. Ni fu ni fa.

I thought this was good overall. I like the singer's voice when she's singing straight up, but when she adds that little snarl/rasp/or whatever it doesn't appeal to me as much. 3 stars.

No idea what to expect here. Artsy new wave maybe? Ok it's got a bit of a punk/new wave vibe to it but it's mostly just upbeat dance-ish pop? Pretty catchy. I recognised "I want your love" - must have heard it on the radio before. Checked out the video clip because I'm a big pervert, was not disappointed. She's probably 60 now, but in the mid-1980s... wow. Can wail decently, drifts nicely between punk warbling and regular rock singing/screaming. Not much else to comment on. Rest of the band stays in its lane - guess they understood the assignment. Totally forgettable overall, but inoffensive. Bit of a period piece, has a real 80s timestamp on it, and not in the best way tbh. 3/5.

The eighties vibe is very strong in this one. Did not enjoy it that much though...
