Respond: Love the reason

Love the reason is quite confusing. The first track is a Thomas Dolby esque funk pop crossover, after that it goes all downhill from there. It's the music I genuinely hate, candy cane drenched enjoy the summer style bubblegum pop with kiddie girly vocals. The 80s version of the Spice Girls if you like (but far far worse). But hang on one second, Track number 5 is Richie Havens style soul, without the Open D tuning, and with some random guy singing something that I can't make out. Yep, it's the 80s all over. This record for me represents were the 80s went wrong, it had so many brilliant bands going for it: Sonic Youth, The Cure, Echo and the bunnymen, Depeche Mode. But the only thing good to come out of it is 80s reggae (the best kind of reggae btw). This record is trully awfull, at first it deceived me, tricking me into thinking that it would have that Thomas Dolby edge to it, but no, just another throwaway 80s record that I will probably forget the name of in a months time. The 5th track it seriously getting annoying aswell now. What ever you do, do not buy this record.
