2nd studio album by Simple Minds following only seven months after the debut album is originally released on Zoom Records. Stylistically, the album follows closely on the path laid out on the first album with this being more experimental and less energetic.
It still sounds like a conglomerate of other artists' works - Magazine, XTC, Veto, Talking Heads and German kraut-rock band, Can are difficult not to forget when listening to this.
This is undoubtedly the band's least favourable album. It simply doesn't contain any noteworthy compositions.
