Production is dated for sure, but some catchy tunes. Reminds me most specifically of the skinny-tie days of Alice Cooper and Crack the Sky. Maybe that's my reaction to the fact that it sounds very new wave, but with more flashy guitar parts than you'd get from anyone waving the synth-pop or new romantic banners. ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V9 #89 ******************************
