^ That's weird I was just reading up on this album earlier and once I saw the phrase "much of the album relies heavily on synthesisers and studio experimentation" I kind of backed off! I'm checking out the 'Tug Of War' album later on tonight.
Also, 'hideous synths' ruined many, many good and potentially great 80s records. Eric Clapton's 'Behind The Sun' is a good example of this and also why Phil Collins shouldn't be allowed to produce other folks records.

Currently listening to this great album by American metal band Tesla. Recorded in 1990, it predates the 'unplugged' craze which was to follow in the 1990s.
Amongst re-workings of their previously heavy material, there are a few covers, one being a Beatles song called 'We Can Work It Out' which sounds vaguely familiar! All in all, a brilliant album.
