What can I say?! Very cool and transcendent 80s song. It’s timeless hand on the pulse of indie alternative is superior.

Definetly not the best by Echo and the Bunnymen.
But not the worst either. I'm personally a huge Echo and the Bunnymen fan, but this album has just never clicked with me like the rest of their work in the 80s.
The album almost seems too close to being New Wave, and the Bunnymen excel when they stay in their atmospheric Post-Punk style, which isn't as apparent in this album (even though it's still not considered New Wave.)
Not the best of their's, but still worth the money.
Recommended tracks:
"Bedbugs and Ballyhoo"
"Bombers Bay"
"All My Life"
Weird choices, I know, and the rest of the album is definetly worth a listen.
Echo and the Bunnymen = unrivaled excellence

One of their best. Highlights include Lips like Sugar, Lost and Found, and Bedbugs and Ballyhoo.
One of the best albums of the 80's

Every song on this album is crisp and perfect. Ian McCulloch's voice never sounded better. "Lips Like Sugar" was the most well-known song from this recording, but the stand-out song is "New Direction." Definitely check out this album, it's worth it.
This Album is like SUGAR

NEW WAVE at its best. Hell Music at its best. Buy it, Play it, Live it....
The Height of an Era

Echo and the Bunnymen are the best band to come out of the New Wave era. This album is their best overall, but doesn't contain their best song. It's hard to imagine many singers who are able to recreate MacCullough's deep, etheral voice.
