    Songs on this LP are not so creative, but John Foxx's voice is at his best and very emotional.

      This comes out when an exceptional talent finally degenerates to mediocracy! 🙁

        I have to agree with postpunk. I personally dont mind rhe cheesiness of the more poppy moments of this record or even some of the corny lyrics. But the added twang on some of his vocals and just plain out ordinary and average delivery of them is so much below par from previous albums. I could accept the Roxy Music attemps like Your Dress on the previous albums but I cant let this one go by without shaking my head at some of it. What Kind of Girl sounds like the Cars. Why? Are those christmas chimes in the background too? Some of these songs are pretty bad. Pressures to write hits I suppose...
        Stepping softly? Woah. That could kill a career.
