After Sisters of Mercy, I would have welcomed a three star album. Instead, we get a solid five star entry. Thank Zeus for George Michael.
This is a fantastic album that is wonderfully strange in some places. I looked up who the female singer in "Hard Day" was only to discover that it was George Michael. I guess every male pop star in the 1980s has a feminine alter ego in their repertoire. I usually don't like ballads so much, but "One More Try" was genuinely moving.
The only thing preventing this album from being 5 stars is a pesky little song called "Monkey." Still a great album, but skip that track.
RATING: 4/5
