The Human League- Dare

Yup. It's the 80s. It's definately the 80s, do you know how I know? Because the catchy yet intense keyboard riffs of The Human Leagues album Dare tell me so. Since the birth of bands like Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode that some what refused to be a normal, generic 4 men on guitar band, there were many other bands that took that idea on board and made it their own. The Keyboards do sound extemely dated on record, but i'm sure if I gave this a spin on spotify right now then I'm prettey sure they will sound as good as new. When I first picked up this record amidst the crappy sould records that my mum was dead keen on, I expected it to be as bad as that other Thomas Dolby knock off that I reviewed (seriously, what was his name again??). Keeping with the 80s trend, The Human League utilise the 80s style of 4 men on keyboards to make a immensly fun record. I could just get up and dance around the room, but I wont though since it is the day after bank holiday and I'm absolutely shattered. If your going to the Isle of Wight festival on the thursday then I am extemely green with jelousy. As for the lyrics, they are prettey simple but they are catchy like the keyboards, and they seem to be quite robotic, repeting themselves again and again. Dare should be a record in anyones collection, even if you dispise Depeche Mode and the likes.
