CD ReviewsAn incredible effort ziz | 05/29/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "too bad this was their first album as they were never able to pull it together quite as well.i learned more about the band's troubles afterwards, but when i first heard this album - shortly after it was released - i was torn between playing it over and over again and excited to hear what they would do next.the album comes close to a perfect one. each track smoothly moving into the next. the songs holding up as singles or as part of a greater work.hard to pick out a favorite song as they all have merit. i find myself humming many of the tunes. some personal faves include "date stamp", "tears are not enough", "the look of love". i realize as i type this, what a silly exercise this is - i may as well list the entire track list!" A favourite album ILikeAmazon | Arlington, VA USA | 06/23/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is fun, fey, dramatic, pop-inflected pure fun. The love theme infuses the album with continuity, but the stronger theme here is great lyrics "...for all the lips I shoulda kissed, I'd be a millionaire/I'd be a Fred Astaire" and great English light new-wave in the romantic mode. Similar to Scritti Politti in some ways, but less detached and equally wry. Like The Human League, but more pop (and less dance) minded. The "Look of Love" is a crowning achievement of synth-pop. Highly Recommended." The best pop album ever Rudi | Delaware, USA | 04/21/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I became an ABC fan in '87, right out of high school. This was the first ABC record I got. What a masterpiece. Every song is wonderful, but the lyrics are even better. Rarely ever have I seen such talent when it comes to writing. Every now and then I still listen to the Lexicon of Love. True, none of the following ABC albums could ever match this one, however Alphabet City came very close. I also still like a good portion of Abracadabra (was that ever released in the States?) I know live in the US and have not given up hope to see Martin live."
