Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released under immense pressure to capitalize on the colossal success of 'Colour by Numbers', Culture Club's third record faced a notoriously rushed production schedule. While yielding the hit single "The War Song", the album received mixed critical reception and ultimately signaled a brief commercial downturn amidst growing internal band tensions.
