Title: Wonderful Change of Direction
Review: Pat Benatar had flirted with more New Wave sounds on her "Get Nervous" album in 1982 and even more so with "Live from Earth" which featured the two very New Wave-ish songs: "Love is a Battlefield" and "Lipstick Lies". "Tropico" is even a bigger step with very experimental tracks. "We Belong", which would become one of her biggest hits, is a true classic and still sounds wonderful today. Other standouts are "Painted Desert", "Temprary Heroes", and "Diamond Field".The songs are melodic and show a maturation to the music's complexity. This is truly of the great albums from the 1980's.
