3.0 out of 5 stars Skip this - buy the UK remastered version, November 20, 2001

This is a wonderful record, probably the best Love & Rockets album ever. But this CD edition was mastered around 1987, and sounds thin and faded - it has no bass punch. Spend the extra cash and buy the UK remastered import. You'll get all of these tracks plus a great cover of Syd Barrett's "Lucifer Sam." The UK version sounds much sharper, revealing bass lines you'll never notice with this thin edition. Still, if you're on a budget, this is a marvelous album regardless.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Service to Humanity, May 19, 2000

This review is from: Express (Audio CD)

In 1986, many people who were in high school at the time were grabbed by this album in a way that no other form of artistic expression ever had. Express raised the bar of what we could reasonably expect in the way of brilliance from those artists we supported with our scarce dollars. The lyircs all had something to say, and it was said in an elegant and compelling way. Having cut their teeth in Bauhaus, they were saying "And now for something completely different....". Their musical ability had grown greatly during the Tones on Tail and Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven days. This came to fruition with the diversity of styles on Express, with "Holiday on the Moon" contrasting well with "American Dream". Many of those who first met Love and Rockets with Express have since been hoping for L and R to do work on par with that album, to no avail. While there have been a few bright spots, many of us have found ourselves merely hopeful and nostalgic. At least Express stands as a gift to mankind to enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sounds best from start to finish, January 6, 2000

When this album came out, Ball of Confusion became my favorite song. Boy was I surprised when I heard the song at a Temptations concert with my parents. Now, a little older, a little smarter, this version sounds somewhat silly compared with the power of the soulful original. However, this album still sounds great, particularly in headphones. It moves nicely from start to finish, covering lots of sonic territory. While most will listen for nostalgia these days, it still sounds fresh enough for newcomers.
