Album Notes & Community Reviews

Achieving massive commercial success across Europe, the Belfast band delivered a masterclass in sweeping, radio-ready pop rock. Driven by the incredibly anthemic hit single 'Broken Land', the production is famously lush and optimistic, bearing the hallmarks of the era's 'big music' aesthetic. The passionate vocal harmonies and pristine acoustic guitar layers remain a definitive staple of late-eighties adult contemporary[cite: 1].
