The worst track on the album. Memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Some powerful tracks on this album. Never Let Me Go for example.

I've got to say, from being initially disappointed, I now play this album most days. Not perfect, but more good than dross for me.

I haven't listened to it since the week it came out and can't say I feel any urge to revisit it either. I still keep their '80s and '90s work in regular rotation, though.

Great band I still play from time to time depending in which musical mode i'm in a lot of this bands and solo material.
World in my eyes,sticky floors i really liked a lot back then that still sounds so good today from time to time who also were so good at creating such great dance lenghtned remixed club versions that were always fantastically produced and the longer the time duration the better it sounded to me only.
I like alot of Dave's solo stuff too.
Thumbs up for this band still from me that we're once so popular in the states but I wouldn't know presently though tbh.
Great Great '80s band.

I didn't really like Dave's solo albums. I like most of their new album though.

Right ok....I'm not massive on them but for sure do like some great stuff both band and he's done and he never stands still on stage who is always dancing around covering the whole floor space as he sings.....fair play great band and solo artist.
