Human League

Romantic?

Good, but a little too monotonous and formulaic

Review Score:

(6/10)
This is a good album that the Human League put out in 1990. I got to hear it in early 1992. Heart Like A Wheel sounded good with its adventurous rhythms. Rebound is another good song--which brings me up to this. Most of this album is a little too repetitive, monotonous and formulaic, as the male and female lead singers repeat the choruses over and over as if in a rote manner. Such as On the Rebound sung some 50 to 60 times or so in Rebound. They're not feeling the songs as they sing them. It's a pattern and formula that continues in 8 of the 10 songs. Given that they went against some very heavy music competition in 1990, they did what they could on this album. But Dare from '81, the '83 album and the '95 album are far better albums to hear than this one.
