I think maybe my brother had this album when it came out, but that I didn't particularly connect with it. That hasn't really changed as I come back to it today. It's an odd little album, a bit of a hodgepodge of quirky synth-forward songs that are very much of their time. The singles are solid enough, but it's nothing I care to revisit. Fave Songs: Wouldn't It Be Good, Bogart, I Won't Let the Sun Go Down on Me, Human Racing

Doesn't have much going for it

The best thing about this album is that it made me remember the Riddle. 2 The fucking chipmunks in gone to pieces lmao

The truth is that it's an album that bored me, I couldn't get any emotion out of it. At the beginning I had expectations, but track by track they faded away. I felt like one of those artists from the eighties who arrived one day and faded away in the face of the consolidated successes of the time.

Very forgettable dime a dozen 1980s British New Wave Synth Pop -- Something that the original list is over stuffed with to a fault.

I lived this hell vicariously through my teenage sister the first time around. Revisiting it is not enhancing my life in any way

I have zero appetite for more of this kind of bullshit after living with the main list for three whole years

This was eye-wateringly bad. Complete dross. Terrible lyrics, horrible sounds. I guess the only redeemable thing was his voice isn't bad. This is 80s landfill music and deserves to stay on the landfill in my opinion.

1 star. Not because it is terrible. It just doesn’t belong on this list. A couple of pop hits does not an album make. Ironically I was a fan back in the day! My brother once called me out for wearing my runners untied a la Nic K. Highly embarrassing.

Wouldn't it be Good was one of my favorite 80's eras one hit wonder tracks. Just a great pop song. Unfortunately i can't imagine why anyone would think this album needs to be on the list. The rest of the album is now what i would ascribe to being the north star of music that doesn't age well. This is just dreck now. I can't imagine this would have been good in 1983, but it hurts my soul listening to it today. I was very thankful when it ended.

80s synth landfill hardly worthy of comment.
