I have always loved this album and wonder if anyone else liked it. It is one of those albums you can listen straight through without skipping a song.

1. Original Sin
2. Melting in the Sun

10. All the Voices

NICE! I send a message is one of my old favorites. I also love The one thing.

Never heard the whole album.
I have Shaboo Shabah, which is mediocre, and Listen like Thieves, which I love.

I really like Original Sin, I Send A Message, and Burn for You. Sounds like it's worth a listen. Where's the hub when you need it?

Love is (what I say) is one of my Favorite all-time new wave songs.[:)]

The Swing is easily my favorite, with inviting, simple hooks, and I agree, it can be listened to end to end (and have many times).

I remember rescuing this CD from a college buddy's collection, finding it amongst his Van Halen and Guns'n'Roses albums. He seemed almost embarrassed it was there.

I've always enjoyed "Shabooh Shoobah" and "Listen Like Thieves" almost as much. "Kick" I barely tolerate and rarely listen to it. Everything thereafter, in my opinion, was stale right off the presses.

The Swing, particularly 'Burn For You' is a a fave of Mrs. 2Nu and I.
Love the simmering low key intro, keyboard riffs and sultry lyrics.

Great Album![8D]

BTW: The video for 'Original Sin' was pretty cool.
It was in some Asian urban area with all these semi trucks and other vehicles festooned with elaborate patterned light displays that were popular at the time. [8D]

2Nu, Burn for you is my favorite to. Great song.
Hope Mrs. 2NU is feeling well. [:)]

I worn out three versions of this classic--it is simply one of the best albums of the '80s

Thanks bruiser! I remember suicide blond, need you tonight, tiny daggars. I love that album. Its also when mike looked coolest with the long hair.

I'll have to check it out - I loved Listen Like Thieves, but never heard much more than the singles from other albums.
I'm a lot more interested in them after watching their show on TV.

The blond girl can really sing! So can the chick with the dreads. I like her look the best. But I think they will choose the Ausie guy.
