Title: A Contemporary Classic
Product review: Usually with your favorite bands, there is no comparison to the first few albums. Especially with 80's bands, those first few are often their best work, plus your nostalgia and loyalty often make it difficult to truly appreciate later work. However, with "Bigger Than America", I can honestly say that this is my favorite Heaven 17 album. I've had it for almost two years now and it has rarely left my CD player for the shelf. The textures, lyrics, melodies, and harmonies of almost every song are a credit to the staying power of the three members of the group. From the sultry way Martyn Ware says "Dive" on the opening number to the dance songs of "We Blame Love" and "Freak" to the chilling lyrics of "Bigger Than America"...I could list every song and compliment the songwriting and vocal talent of the band. I swear you will not be disappointed with this album. I can only hope they will continue in this vein for another record....
