This album's more than you might expect: it's not just 80's pop, it's not just new wave racket, and it's definitely not just Video Killed the Radio Star.
This is art rock proper: chiming technology, squirrely song structures, and dystopian atmosphere all working together to make something catchy, strange and affecting. All that operatic sweep and skitters of mania, Gang of Four post-punk modern anxiety meets the computer age at Queen scale, taking that perfect last ride out with Johnny on the Monorail, squinting into the future 4/5
