Customer Reviews
Very Underrrated
A brilliant album, really underrated as a part of the Boomtown Rats' legacy, since it is completely overshadowed by Geldolf's Amazing chairty work. Less experimentation than some of their other work, but, lyrically, it's one of their strongest sets, esp. "Dave", and "A Hold Of Me". "Icicle" is the great lost New Wave dance song and "Up or Down" is as frantic as the band was at the time, fighting to survive. It didn't work. The album bombed after being shelved, and they were forced to change the lyrics and content of "Dave" into "Rain" by their label. Too bad. it's a great attempt at a commercial breakthrough that their record label completely screwed up. Far from the fiasco the official review sets this up as, it's a great record. One of their best. All punks have to grow up sometime. too bad they don't all do it with the grace of The Boomtown Rats.
