For the mid-'80s, the production is surprisingly good.

Very restrained.

Warm and balanced.

No shrillness at all.

The singer's voice doesn't really change throughout the album.

Some of the sounds are a bit Depeche Mode-industrial, only they were a bit more.... invigorating.

If I could sum up this album in one smiley, it would be: banana bones

...But that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

It is over.

That was a quality album filled with haunting melancholy. However, most of the tracks could've done with being shorter.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited
