Oh the heady days of the 80's! I've been a lifelong fan of OMD since I first saw them on their 'Architecture & Morality' tour and I've been hooked ever since. 'Enola Gay' is STILL my favourite song of all time! This is their first album since 1996's 'Universal' and, whilst quite not reaching the giddy heights of their earlier works, is still a breath of fresh air. So what if 'Sister Marie Says' sounds like 'Enola Gay'and 'The End' sounds like Kraftwerk's 'Europe Endless' (after all, OMD were heavily influenced by Kraftwerk), this is a fine return to form with catchy electro-pop tunes and mellow moments of ambience. Just don't leave us hanging on for 14 years till your next album, andy and Paul!
If you enjoy 80's music - and understand and appreciate OMD - then this album is definatley worth adding to your collection. It is an excellent listen all the way through - with the iconic group maintaining the excellent 'electrocynthetic' OMD sound from the 80's but adding a slightly modern twist to it. The first 5 songs are excellent.
