I kinda always like this disc back in 1982, I certainly am aware that some did not care for it to the same degree.......as you know, 1981-83 I consider the music scenes to be fairly lame, when a decent on would shine through, we'd often (to a degree) overate it........But I always kind of like this album by the English Boys, "On the Edge"........I doubt 90 % of you are familiar with it, it is nothing if not a period piece, but I always enjoyed this one for some reason, sue me if you disagree......this is TOTALLY early 80's new-wave, the kind that REALLY doesn't stand up today, other than in a nostalgic manner. but, in that case it really DOES.......there are some REALLY decent tracks on this disc, such as "Kids", "Schoolyard Suicide", and "The Russians Are Coming".........I think that if you pop this one down (especially if you've not heard it), you will find this to be a wnderful period piece reminder of the early 1980's, and, honest to god, is THAT so FUCKING BAD?THE ENGLISH BOYS-ON THE EDGE-01 Kids/02 Could Have Been You/03 Schoolyard Suicide/04 TV Girls/05 The Russians are Coming/06 Can't Stop the Feeling/07 On the Edge/08 State of Mind/09 Tired of Loving/10 She's So Beautiful
This is a good one, quite unknown, but I think you may enjoy it.............hell, I never know, but this album sounds pretty damn good to ME 30 years after the fact.......isn't that what matters?
