A Rock Band...maybe.
, August 12, 2001Reviewer: wolfsram - See all wolfsram's reviewsAbsolutely agree with Pauley on this one. While this is widely accepted as ABC's attempt to become a rock band (and that acclaim/criticism is not unfounded), it's a GREAT album...the melody and end crunch of "Power of Persuasion" is alone worth seeking it out. "S.O.S.", "Unzip", and "By Default By Design" are other greats. It actually BUILDS on "Lexicon"...it's unfortunate than no one noticed. -
Great CD!!!

Pauley H - See all Pauley H's reviews One of the true New Wave greats,from danceroom rock "SOS" to ass kicking grunge rock "Bite the hand" but after all it is a wall of rock and beautiful high school dancing type music yet still romantic,now that it is out-of-print ABC was once gonna call it the Lexicon of love II.Fully Recommended!!!!!!!!
