User Reviews: Different Light
Different Light sheds a Tuneful Revelation
Pros: Tight Vocals and Instrumentation
Cons: Dated
This album features some of this California girl group of the 80s' biggest hits including "Manic Monday", "Walk Like An Egyptian" (it started a small dance craze...remember doing it?), and the wonderous sounding "If She Knew What She Wants." If you have this record and just listen to it for the popular hits, try this track out: "Following", sung by very tall bass player Michael Steele. She was the best, I think. Good song, too.

Manic Monday
80
Written by Prince (under the name of Christopher) this album opener is undoubtedly a classic.

In A Different Light

An example of The Bangles, when they get everything right, they can come up with a fabulous exciting piece of well-written pop. Love the energy they have in the solo section with the added percussion and the vocals answering the guitar phrases, followed by the ascending bass arpeggios, leading back into the final chorus. Great stuff.

Walking Down Your Street
59
A dodgy piece of 80s pop trying to be 60s pop, but hey, that's The Bangles :-)

Walk Like An Egyptian
77
A huge dance novelty hit - but has a very cool rock & percussion arrangement that elevates it above the cheesy. It is a classic.

Standing in the Hallway

A plastic piece of cheesy pop, with catchy melodies its only saving grace.

Let It Go

Upbeat and great Crosby/
Stills/
Nash/
Young-like singalong vocal arrangement. :-))

September Girls

The best song on the album - yes - even better than Manic Monday. It has ended up being an 'unheard classic' - such a cruisy and beautiful summery melody. Somebody did a great cover of it once but I can't remember who - I will have to find out, and download it!!!

Angels Don't Fall In Love

When I first bought this record, this song was my favourite song. Upbeat, jangly guitars and catchy, a Bangles trademark.

Another cheesy piece of pop, but has a good feel and happy spirit to it - and the lead vocal part is sung by the drummer!!!
