Absolutely amazing album... it's always a pleasure to listen to it and listen to it again!

A record that I found decidedly enjoyable, with some excellent moments. The right rating, for me, would be 3 and a half stars... but I'll round up, why not!

An absolutely stunning album, although very challenging. The KC are great (as usual!)

Just heard it: spectacular... it deserves the highest score! - @vellutogrigio: as soon as I can, I’ll take a look at the other reviews on Blue Oyster - @Green Manalishi (and also all the commentators on this page): which other album do you recommend I get right after this one?

I've heard great things about this group... unfortunately, I don't know them very well. After reading your review (and also the comments above), I better get a move on to learn more!

Primiballi, I expressed myself poorly in the previous post. Obviously, I do not claim to label the entire five-year period of '85-'90: my intention was to say "the second half of their 80s"... it's true, I was imprecise. Nevertheless, while I fully respect your opinion, I remain convinced that the SM made a kind of deal with the devil to compete with U2 (with whom, by the way, until "New Gold Dream" they had practically nothing in common)... I definitely preferred them when they were semi-unknown!

A solid foundation for the good "Cry" that would come a couple of years later... here the SM manage to slightly better focus the ideas born from the confusing "Néapolis" (though it's worth noting a return to the massive use of electronics like in their early '80s). Notable "Jeweller To The Stars," although I prefer it in the "Black & White" version. The best of the bunch is "Swimming Towards The Sun"... the rest is average.

After the enjoyable "Cry," expectations were high for Simple Minds... this seems like a return to the simplistic and unpretentious pop of the second half of the 80s (not coincidentally, if I'm not mistaken, the producer of "Once Upon A Time" is back on this album). Fortunately, the fate of the album is somewhat lifted by the excellent "Dolphins" and "Jeweller To The Stars, part II."

Maybe their worst album... a few pleasant ideas (like "She's A River") and nothing more. I won't vote because I hate to give a low score to Simple Minds. - I agree with Reverse: Mike, to listen to the real SM you should pick up something from their early 80s: listening to this album is quite misleading.

An honest album... perhaps its most obvious flaw is trying to retrace the paths of "Street Fighting Years." Nonetheless, there are a few gems here and there: the two singles released ("See The Lights" and, especially, "Let There Be Love") are on another level. Not bad also "Ghostrider" and "Banging On The Doors" - My rating would be 3 and a half. I'll round up.
