Title: At Least It's Better Than Lap of Luxury!
Product review: But that's about all you can recommend on this one, a late/mid-eighties offering from the Tricksters that showed the group struggling for new ideas. Any new ideas. They wound up going the new wave/techno front with a heavy (over) reliance on synthesizers. Still, you can't exactly say the album is boring. Actually, it's more strange than anything. But at least at this point CT was still writing (for the most part) their own material, and Rick Neilsen's typically oddball sense of humor lyrically is well evidenced here. That aside, the bottom line is that there is one good song on this entire album, the undeniably catchy "Kiss Me Red". It was, however, written by outside forces...a factor that would lead to their commercial rebirth (and artistic downfall) in the album to follow.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
