Reviews
Ranked #1 in Cmj's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1985in, 4 stars out of 5 -- "The album zeroed in on every angsty adolescent's desire to feel heroic, with a sound of spotlit, spacious sophistication plus anthemic choruses you'd bet your house on.", 3 stars (out of 5) - "...launched the 'duo' onto the world stage....were it not for the skyscraping 'Shout', the always-uplifting 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World' and the mighty 'Head Over Heels', this would possess museum value only...", Included in Cmj's List of "Top 25 College Radio Albums of All Time", 4 stars out of 5 -- "'Everybody Wants To Rule The World''s lens flare and Robert Wyatt homage 'I Believe' prove durable…", "An Epic Album That Replaced the Band’S Synth-Pop with Some Jangly Guitars and Amore Mature Sound."
