Title: A masterpiece!
Review: It's funny that I'm taking the time to pontificate on this album, because, as a middle-aged (43) man, my taste generally runs toward the postpunk era (think Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Pavement). However, I will always maintain a soft spot in my heart for the "new wave" bands who basically got the whole "alternative" thing started. Honestly, I played New Gold Dream non-stop for about 3 years straight (and still do). Simple Minds kinda went downhill after this (although Sparkle in the Rain had some definite highlights- Waterfront, Up on the Catwalk, etc.), but, wow, what a beautiful, atmospheric, piece of work this is!
Is the review positive or negative?
