Fantastic album.
It's got Seventies bashing, Eighties synth, and Nineties - grade irony (disco songs dissing disco? C'mon, that's classic !)
Plus, some genuinely chilling moments (Winter Kills) and one of the saddest & frightening suicide ballads ever (In My Room) (at least, it SEEMS like a suicide ballad...)
Even the pisstake (I Before E Except After C) is a reconstruction of a conversation held upstairs at Eric's.
Overall, it's a sterling work, with my only complaint being the sparseness of lyrics on some songs and their running length on others.
9.1 / 10

aphextriplet: once again, a great avatar.
Yes, but their debut was AWESOME.
AWESOME in a 'singing along with a slightly happier Depeche Mode' way.
Which makes some sense, given that Vince Clarke DM after Speak & Spell.

yazoo was the original name. but it was taken so they shortened it. and i think they released an album a few years back under yazoo. but i've not heard it. *shrugs*
