Apparently this act has been around for a while. I don't think I've ever heard of them before. I know I've never heard them before. This new album is quite strong. I'd have to say that I think there are a couple tunes here ("Cupid" and "Butterfly") that could have been left off to make for a stronger release. Beyond that, though, this set is just so strong. It's not that those two songs are bad. They are far from anything near bad. It's just that they aren't at the same level as the rest of the set. I think it's great that they start the album off with two of the best and end it with another particularly strong tune. All in all, I'd chalk this set up as a roaring success, particularly for those who dig new wave music and the pop rock sounds that came from that.
