I never understood why gays flock to female artists like Charli XCX and Kate Bush, when this album exists. Can't think of anything gayer than this (outside of maybe Pansy Division)

As a fourteen year old, this was unlike any other album I owned, like entering a whole new world. Listening to it was an adventure; it wasn't just one song after another like 'normal' albums. It was full of weird sounds and noises, and for the duration you stepped into another world. Now, the two big singles apart, and with the odd interludes having long lost their magic, we are left with a bunch of decidedly mediocre songs and competent but uninspiring covers, and very little to suggest what it was that could have so enchanted me. The magic has worn off, unfortunately.

Sad history.. wish you can enjoy this album again after some time. Sometimes magic is everlasting, but has its worse times, and all needed is to wait again. Personally, I think something like you, but "The Power of Love" still stays deep in my heart, as well as "War", "Relax", "Two Tribes" and some others..

Ha ha. Nice thought but I'm 48 now. Don't think 'all needed is to wait again' :) Two Tribes and Relax still sound great in the right context, The rest...

All those remixes in retrospect just showed the incredible creativity/productivity of Trevor Horn.

this album was a slowburn for me in terms of appreciating how good it is. first time listening to it, i only dug about 2-3 songs, the second time about 5-6 songs, the third time about 8-9 songs, eventually by the fifth time...i pretty much loved the entire album.

I decided to try it because you can't go wrong with Trevor Horn's production wizardry (srsly guy is one of my all-time fave producers), and then I realised this is basically an entire album of DAT BASS. There's just so much bass action in it!

I disagree - born To Run was blah, but the stuff after was experimental and original and odd. There were a couple of good ballads in there, too. This is a widely underrated album. when it came out as a double, it was the best, and not many people had it in the NY area that I knew of. A personal pleasure, not something id normally let people in on...

pretentious as hell, gorgeous, lovely, gritty, ethereal....mmmmm....pretentious only because it was their first album presented as a double LP gatefold package. they took a Hell of a chance by doing that...yet, they lived up to their hype, kinda like Desperate Housewives.....
