Damn, I feel old. 😂

What a fantastic rich and moody album. Played it non stop in my dad's car everywhere we went, although I did often skip My October Symphony.

Some of the best Songs ever-So Hard,Being Boring, Jealousy,so great.
I will never forget,when I first listened So Hard in the radio ,recorded on a cassette, later this was my first "Maxi CD".
A wonderful time..

Greetings,

And it's still their best album, by a long way.

Magnificent.

Retro. :)

On the day that your mentality
Decides to try to catch up with your biology :lol:

It's 35 years of Behaviour! Crazy! :dance:

I used to mope on the DART in Dublin with it, Violator and Happiness by The Beloved on my Walkman. Ah, the joys of being an angsty teen.

Ah The Beloved Happiness. Such a cracking album with gems like Don't You Worry and Wake Up Soon. Loved their 'Loving Feelin' single as well. One of my go too albums.

I do not care and have never cared about it but it has one of my staple top ten PSB songs: This must be the place...Even thinking about it sends shivers down my spine. That orchestration...Performance ending (and some extended versions, see below) make it even better, if that is possible at all.

Now I am gonna go and listen to it one more time just to revel in lingering past of my miserable times in boarding school sado-masochistically.

Harold Faltermeyer - you're really on top of the game when you work with a top gun like him.

PSB don't come top in my favourite bands list (that will always be Ultravox), but this album, I think, is my favourite of all time.

Happiness is such a great album. Can't think of a duff track on it. Both Happiness and the remix album Blissed Out perfectly encapsulate the time. Think I'll have to give them both a listen now!
