this CD didn't break any new ground for me. "Last Chance" is a beautil track and recalls the golden age of Soft Cell. A beautiful ballad with tricky lyrics. I challenge anyone to sing along to this song without tripping! "Monoculture" reminds me of Memorabilia.

Just as it seems to be a dark charmer as Soft Cell can only be, sadly they came too late for a decent album. It still has this energy to offer but 'Cruelty Without Beauty' doesn't make any speacial announcements - except that Marc and Dave are pushing their fifties alright and although they don't look that bad they're don't look that young any more either.
