Title: Great Album - Glad to see they are touring UK
Product review: Criminally, this album does not seem to be commercially available in the UK, which is bizarre as we just cannot get enough of this 80s alternative sound right now, especially when it emanates from a US band. Witness the huge success of The Killers and Interpol right across Europe.Unlike many other acts, they have managed to combine commercial melodies without falling into soft rock cliches, a la Robbie Williams. There is very little filler on the album and its melange of soaring guitars, synths and very 80s Brit Alternative vocals is great. Why they recorded in New York and LA is a mystery to me."On my Own" is the best thing they have ever done. Its plaintiveness reminds me of early Cocteau Twins. Just brilliant.
