I hate this record. I love synth punk, or really synth anything or punk anything but I hate this record and have ever since I went out of my way to secure a copy of it from ebay. It's just annoying but maybe that's mostly in part due to the vocals...B52 style is fuckn right.

There's a cheap copy of this up on ebay right now for anyone who can actually get into this band. I always see it on there these days.

This record is straight up quirky new wave and is not as bad as dirty judas made it out to be. At least for me. He might just not be into this kind of new wave. It's cool and ranks right up there with The Cosmopolitans who have a similar vocal style. Awesome post even though I'm late to the game here.
