252) Nik Kershaw-Human Racing 1984

Av Mikael Persson - 23 oktober 2014 17:12

 


Popstar of the 1980's first album released on MCA Records and it was an immediate success in many countries reaching nr. 5 in the UK, 7 in Norway, 8 in Germany and 4 top-20 singles in the UK. It's an album full of synthpop typical for the time; strange twists in many songs and a few obvious hits, real instruments mixed with synthesizers. I like the hits but the rest is not very much to listen to making this album a much seen one in bargainboxes in 2nd hand shops.


1)Dancing girls (5,0)

2)Wouldn't it be good (7,0)

3)Drum talk (4,0)

4)Bogart (6,0)

5)Gone to pieces (5,0)

6)Shame on you (6,0)

7)Cloak and dagger (5,5)

8)Faces (5,0)

9)I won't let the sun go down on me (7,5)

10)Human racing (4,0)


Score: 5,50

    8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...

    Another one of my favorite bands from the 1980's and 90's. I have always loved thier simple and bluesy hardrocksongs with singer Jack Russell's clear and sensetive vocals. This, their 3rd album is one of the highlights of the band's career a...
