I'm liking what I'm hearing of this. There's a lot of guitar but I can probably overlook that
B-b-but that's ROBIN SIMON!! You know, the only other element of Ultravox that was no longer present once they came back with Midge Ure?

Also, I fell in love with this album IMMEDIATELY. There was no "oh, maybe if I listen to this a couple more times I'll get into it" with me. Upon my first listen I was all, "Holy shit, this could end up tying for my favorite album of all time." Like, right now I have the title track playing through my head. It is insanely good.

Oh shit ok! Will probably grab hold and see how I get on with the whole album

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. PLEASE DO. You will not regret it, mark my words.
BTW, this is making me feel like listening to Foxx's back catalogue as well, e.g. The Golden Section and Metamatic. But first, another spin of Howl.

Such a great album. That final track is all kinds of epic, very Bowie somehow.
