Advantages: Addictive, don't get bored of the songs. Disadvantages: Why did they split up!!
I bought this album because I am a big fan of SpandauBallet and especially because it contained the song 'Through the Barricades'. This album was very nice to listen to and has some of SpandauBallet's later songs. It has nine tracks and most were very good in my opinion. The songs are very original, with a good variety, the most well known is the classic 'Through the Barricades'. You will never get bored of listening to this album and I was reaching for it time and time again. Overall I thought this album was excellent, probably one of SpandauBallet's best I would recommend this album to anyone who likes SpandauBallet. ...
Advantages: Several good tracks. Disadvantages: Some tracks are 'odd'!
I bought this album because I wanted to hear the other less well known songs by SpandauBallet instead of the usual True and Gold. When I began listening, I was pleasantly surprised. This album has 15 tracks in all, and there were several that I especially enjoyed. These were Musclebound, Diamond, Pleasure, Code of Love and Foundation. They are in the classic over the top 80s style and are very catchy songs. The rest of the songs on this album are not so hot, I think the band just put them together to make up the numbers. However, it is still a very good album and I would recommend it to anyone who likes SpandauBallet and wants to hear some of their 'alternative' songs. ...
I bought this album in a sale in a music shop when I hardly knew anything about SpandauBallet. However when I got home and put it on I was pleasantly surprised.
This album contains an outstanding mixture of all of SpandauBallets greatest songs, such as 'Gold', 'True', 'Only When You Leave' and 'To Cut A Long Story Short'. They are compelling to listen to, and I was playing this album over and over again.
This album is a true 80s classic, typically in the style of new romantics and is very original and distinctive. A must buy for any 80s music fans. ...
