4.0 out of 5 stars Better new wave than the Police?, October 25, 2008
By Lori Kreck "Fasterthanu2" (Nevada...where real cowboys live hard) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this at the same time I bought the Police's first album in 1978. Better than the Police....Hell, I don't know cause I never had a huge thing for the Police but this is one of my favorite's from the new wave. I like the "distressed" hauntingly distant vocals and the subject matter in the lyrics. This was the non-commercial kind of new wave U rarely heard on the radio...not Devo, B-52's, or other pop-wave...not that they're bad. I'm not going to try and compare them to anyone in particular but my taste in music tends to be pretty edgy hard rock/metal/blues and phsychedelia and this album/disc still does it for me....
