I can’t tell whether this is a lost album from the 1980s or it’s just pretending to be. I guess that makes it authentic. If you’ve seen a movie that had Anthony Michael Hall in it, you’ve heard this before. It’s just inoffensive keyboard-prominent ’80s music with a Stacey Q singer. Too late for Greased Lightning and too early for Electric Youth.
The nice thing about new 1980s music is that it’s common knowledge what has stood the test of time. If that means I am calling this formulaic. I’d rather focus on how this delivers on what it promises. Regardless, I am sure the backstory, whatever it is, with this band is awesome.
“You’ve Got Me Worried” is as good as the rest, I suppose. But the energy seems a little more focused on this one. I think it is the crisp bassline.
What gave me pause about when this was really made was “Who Do U Think U R?” First of all, the music has a strong ’90s sound to it. Secondly, did anyone really do that stupid text message abbreviating back in the ’80s? I mean, I did, but I was the only one!
It works. I like it. You should know going in whether you’ll like it too. It’s not rocket science. It’s not even the Challenger.
