Review
I like it, it's a nice album with a unique style. Notably the fact that there's barely any lyrics (and what lyrics there are often repeat themselves). I see it as kind of a shame since I actually like the vocalists voice, but it works for their style. Pretty solid synth album. I honestly didn't think synths were this good in 1977 (I know, I'm uncultured) so I was really impressed. It's got great replay value.
Rating: 3/5
