Aka the album with Take On Me. Which is an ok song, but nothing special.
The rest of this is made up of limp versions of the same: plinky synths that are never quite as catchy, moaning vocals that never quite reach the same soaring heights. There's some creepy slickness in the doubletime beats, and The Sun Always Shines on TV has a thunderous presence, but there's too much emphasis on Morten Harket's mouthy sub-Morrisey yowling, crushing any appealing details, keeping me from remotely getting into this 2.5/5
