Album Notes & Community Reviews
The veteran punk outfit completely transitioned into sleek, sophisticated pop-rock territory on their ninth studio album. Characterized by prominent acoustic guitars, horn sections, and polished synthesizer layering, the record heavily reflects the mature, deeply melodic new wave aesthetics of the late 80s.
