Album Review
With a deeper and broader track listing than most ABC compilations, Look of Love: The Very Best of ABC more or less lives up to its name. Concentrating on the band's glory days, the album covers the highlights of ABC's first five albums, including de rigeur hits like the title track, "Poison Arrow," "When Smokey Sings," "Be Near Me," and "How to Be a Millionaire," as well as album tracks like "S.O.S.," "All of My Heart," and "The Night You Murdered Love." While some of the later inclusions, such as "The Real Thing," don't quite pack the punch of ABC's prime work, the 2001 track "Peace and Tranquility" fits in with the earlier material surprisingly well. Likewise, the somewhat random track listing might be somewhat annoying to anyone trying to track ABC's chronological development, but it does spotlight how consistent their brand of suave synth pop is. With a new song, a more diverse track listing, and no unnecessary remixes, Look of Love has a slight edge over Absolutely ABC: The Best of ABC as the group's definitive retrospective.
Customer Reviews
I wish they were still together!
These guys are so alive in their music. I like them because the melodies are easy to catch and the voice is fun to sing along with. Lyrics aren't too shabby either.
I love ABC!!
Being a child of the 1980's, this band was very influential in my music genre. I absolutely love Marty's (the lead singer) voice and their way of new wave opera was great. Check out Look of Love, Poison Arrow and Be Near Me for great 1980's sound and don't forget When Smoky Sings.
I had all but forgotten about these guys...
I have to admit I'm not a fan of ABC but even I can admit the music does make me feel an intense sense of nostalgia about the 80's. I can almost transport myself back there listening to these songs and that is reason enough to give it 4 stars, borderline classic no doubt. Takes me back to the care free innocence of being a child in the 80's. nuff said!
