Hurrah!
Please buy him one from me, too. We all owe him a debt of thanks for the wonderful music he has given us. |

I know this is supposed to be a seminal album; lots of people/bands cite it but to me it's still just a mess. Oh well. Don't care for the sound of the vocals either. 5

When I see tenderness before you left

That even breaking up was never meant

But only angels look before they tread
(Forget)I never realized he was singing "forget" in the background, I always thought he was saying "fuck it"  |

One of my favourite albums. About time we heard some of the other tracks though. How about the final one? It's a cracker.

My friend Moe died shortly after this came out. I am always reminded of his loving kindness when I hear this song.

LOVE Talk Talk — always have. The singer's voice gives me chills because it's so evocative. "Life's What You Make It' is one of my all time fave 80s ballads.

Funny, but perhaps that is not what a lot of young (perhaps your age) felt when the covers of a lot of 80s songs, namely Talk Talk's 'It's My Life', came out in the air again. Now, don't get me wrong, what I am just trying to say is that the sound of the 80s (pure, recycled or otherwise) CAN be enjoyed almost twenty years later, and NOT trying to imply that, just because it got aired again is good. I am done with the old "all the 80s music is trahs" cable TV discourse. That you do not get it, fine, it might be a matter of taste, which is understandable, but certainly these guys, among a few others, were putting some good tunes those days. |

Great band, stunning album. Still listen to it now and again and I still marvel at the production perfection - still sounds better on vinyl though!
