A heads up if you liked Rhythm of Youth

#1 Post by York Minster »

New Men Without Hats album is now on Spotify. And for all intents and purposes, it's Rhythm of Youth/Folk Of The 80's Part IV (mixed with a touch of Ivan's solo album). If you ignore the highly ignoble effort in 2003, this is also the first proper album since 1991.
And tryin' to figure out what happened to 'Germaine Propaine'
"He couldn't have fell off that hard" Ain't no way
"What happened to the way you was rappin' when you was scandalous
That Canibus turned into a television evangelist"
Plus he raps with his regular voice [BOOSH! BOOSH!]
[BOOSH! BOOSH!] (What was that?) Pet Shop Boys

Oh, I loved the album a lot in the Eighties. I Like, The Great Ones Remember, I Got The Message... The b-side Security was good too. The follow-up and Pop Goes The World had their moments too, but I dropped out after the dreadful In The 21st Century.

PGTW is a masterpiece, but yes, with 21st Century, it got very dicey and a bit strange. A song who's chorus is "here comes the 90s..yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah" still makes me a bit embarrassed every time I hear it. That said, if you like the early stuff, the new album is worth a listen.
