Title: a short shelf life
Review: Ultravox is like that container of cottage cheese on the dairy shelf at your favorite supermarket. It tastes great for a time until it reaches the expiration date and then you just have to throw it out. I enjoyed this and many other recordings of the Midge Ure-era when they were new and fresh, but listening to them now makes me wonder if they sounded dated and hopelessly out of place even before the decade of the 80's came to its final conclusion. This music came out at a time of great excess and a live for the moment attitude. Few bands in my mind have been able to trancend this highly disposable era and unfortunately, Ultravox is not one of them. Is there a foul odor emanating from your CD/record collection?
Is the review positive or negative?
