To me, their best work in the 80s.

One of those albums that seem almost irrelevant and after hearing it you'd like to develop a kind of blindness to such album releases to protect yourself in the future from spending time on them. Even if the music didn't sucked - though I think it did - I think much of the effort would be wasted by how this production sounds. The drum sound, like in many albums from this decade, sounds so fake - as fake as the woman on the cover, if you know what I mean - that it's hard to image it coming from a drum kit. TBH I don't wanna be bashing the album too much, because it's more about this general sound and trends in songwriting that were plaguing the times rather this individual album or the band going astray. It's not like many Rock n Roll giants didn't fall on this same time period. Time well spent, NOT.
