I think he seems to want to revisit the 80s through his production.
An attractive proposition at first glance, but on the whole rather worrisome.
Biscuit tin drums battering their way through a stringy reverbmurk used to get
me off fine, but that was when Simple Minds Rooled ;-)
As I said, I do understand its compelling qualities (a bit like death by
chocolate or sticky toffee pudding ;-)). Personally, I like to play two tracks
off the album (starting with track 4) and then take it off. I feel less bloated
that way.
