Album Notes & Community Reviews
Continuing their incredibly successful foray into synthesizer-driven new wave, the Mael brothers delivered one of their most consistently energetic, highly melodic 80s records. 'Angst in My Pants' perfectly utilizes Russell's operatic vocals and Ron's deeply sarcastic, humorous lyricism, resulting in a remarkably playful, wonderfully quirky, and slightly anxious art-pop triumph.
