"There's a desperate dependence on hooklines here and, although they've finally made honest men of the Weir bros we've now got four keyboard players plus 'additional keyboards' from Prod. Stephen Hague. By God they keep themselves busy; Fairlight farting and binkly bonking, they just can't leave a decent tune alone; slamming in All 'Fluff' Freeman-style chunks of classical garbage at random."

"OMD, possibly the most faceless band in pop, have produced yet another terrifyingly bland LP; perfectly played, of course, but utterly disposable."
