A big improvement on their debut

Review Score: (8/10)
The album dates back to the 80's, and is a top class representative of the synth / electronic pop genre of the time. This is the follow up album to their self-titled debut, and is a great improvement on it. For starters, "Enola Gay" was the major hit off the album - reaching top 10 in the UK. The other tracks are obviously less spectacular, with a mix of good tunes and experimental noises, but overall it's a good effort from the band, with a taster of the great things that came from all the albums that followed.

If you do not own any OMD music, then perhaps the "Best Of" compilation is the place to start. If you already own that, then maybe move to "The Pacific Age" or "Crush" next, especially if you're a recent OMD fan. Hardcore fans should definitely add this to their collection - I recommend it.
