Album Review
To say The Age of Consent is a great album of dance-oriented synth-pop music is to sell it extremely short; this is simply a great album, period. Jimmy Somerville's soaring tenor may take some getting used to, but the songs, many of them dealing with homophobia and alienation (none more eloquently than "Smalltown Boy"), are compelling vignettes about the vagaries of life as a gay man. Cynics predisposed to dismissing entire genres of music based on trendiness or a limited appeal ("dance music is for dancing, not listening") miss the point in lumping this in with more mindless forays into techno or neo-disco. As the Pet Shop Boys (the world's greatest disco band) proved a few years later, you can have substantive content and wrap it up in a compelling, visceral, dance-oriented package. Few bands understood this better, or earlier, than Bronski Beat.
Customer Reviews
Classic stuff
Ok there are a few cheesy turkeys on this album but most tracks are classic stuff. They are from a time before jimmy somerville really started wailing noisily and went all trashy and commercial. Small town boy is just amazing as are some of the others. Tho frankly i can live without the awful remixes that have been included. They should be left in the eighties!
