Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released a mere six months after their breakthrough 'Kimono My House', Sparks' 'Propaganda' continued their thrilling streak of wildly theatrical, incredibly eccentric art-pop. The album is wonderfully playful and fiercely energetic, matching remarkably melodic, highly progressive pop-rock arrangements with intensely satirical, brilliantly sarcastic lyrical wit.
