Had no idea these guys had this many albums, 14 listed, with the last one in 2011. Pretty sure this third release is
the only one I have. Normally not a synth pop guy, but this one passes, and I love the leadoff track. A couple of
bombs, but overall a decent album. Much bigger in the homeland than they ever were here. Twenty four top 20 hits
there as compated to three here. One of those is that lead off single here of A Little Respect. Looks like this is
the album that brought them to the top of the chart in the UK, with a weak #49 here, although it has since gone
platinum, and remains their best selling album. Looks like there were two other singles, but A Little Respect did
the best, #4 UK, #14 US. The synth is a bit much at times on this album, so I think it's Andy Bells vocals that
allow me to like most of it.
