A short-played album which will be re-issued with bonus tracks, the B-sides "Caught In A Trap" and "A Matter Of Fact", in the near future. While the album has some high points, this is a somewhat tired Lynne. It's just too much synthesizers here.
"Calling America" and "So Serious" were two fine singles. The ballad "Getting To The Point" marked the end of a group. Otherwise this is just average songs. "Heaven Only Knows" starts fine but get's tiresome. "Secret Lives" has the typical Lynne riff in the refrain, but is really a bad song. "Sorrow About To Fall" adds a saxophone that makes it more forgettable. "Endless Lies" is Lynne trying to be Roy Orbison, which he's not! It's ordinary 80s synth pop with a trio that doesn't impress anyone. A sad farewell to an era. I'd give it 2.5 points.
