3.0 out of 5 stars
Back to the 80's, July 31, 2000
This review is from: 24/7 (Audio CD)
Just as Lenny Kravitz seems stuck in a time warp that currently has him stranded in the 70's, so is Scotland Yard stuck in the 80's. If your musical references happen to be all "rock of the 80's" bands, however, Scotland Yard is the band for you. Tracks like "No Regrets" and "Something Good" sound like lost Berlin and Missing Person tracks; "Movin' On" could've come off the first Kim Wilde album. If this is what you want, then by all means, buy this album - it's tailor-made for you, and you can adjust the star rating up one star. However, if you didn't like "rock of the 80's" when it was the 80's, adjust it down one star. 24/7 is fun, smartly written and ingratiating music, but it's often difficult to separate the band from their very obvious influences.
