A Dark and unusually thematic piece

Review Score: (6/10)
I remember when this was first released. I had a roommate who kept this on the turntable (remember them?) for months! I found the album to be difficult to get into, but over the years I have grown quite fond of it. This is surely worth having, a very unique collection of songs, very much a part of the early 80's.
