Album Notes & Community Reviews
The third studio album from Sheffield's Heaven 17 sees the trio further refining their polished, state-of-the-art synthpop sound while expanding their ambitious use of orchestral arrangements. The record addresses themes of nuclear anxiety and capitalist excess through a lens of sharp, sarcastic lyrical detachment, yielding the hit single "This Is Mine".
