    The tunes are repetitive in the vein of Oakey's earliest industrial post-punk '70s rants, but with the angry friction of those heady times cooled off, like a trip to the corner after a heated outburst. And if the album doesn't quite attain the life-altering awesomeness of Dare--well, what album does, really?

    You won't find a "Don't You Want Me" on this disc, but you will find a band that's aged a lot better than many of their contemporaries, as well as a few tracks that will stand up well alongside those of their modern-day followers.

    Credo could have been the perfect opportunity to prove to their devotees that they haven't lost their touch, but although there are a few flashes of their heyday's magic, it's a strangely low-key affair which is unlikely to inspire any future synth pop maestros.

    You get the impression Credo came this close to being pretty good then overshot the mark and crashed in a tangled mess. Yes, the Human League are still laboring on. But dignity? Fast running out.

    Really good to see they're still going and their latest album is gets better after a few listens. Their live show is better than the new record however so catch that if you can. Can't wait for the next album in 10 years; that one one is going to be fantastic!… Expand

    Yikes - autotune on a Human League album?? they are supposed to be trend SETTERS not followers. That said, never let me go is not bad. Night People sounds like weird science...a little cheezy. Sky is a good track. I think the new wave bands releasing new material in the old style should be rated as if the album was released during the heyday...with that I would say this is an also ran in their pantheon of albums.… Expand

    This is by far the worst Human League album ever. It's a pity they decided to release this. If you think there is at least one good track then you are mistaken. Maybe it is hardly to believe, but three singles: Night People, Never Let Me Go and Sky are the best moments on this album. And it's not that this album should be released in the 80's. It's just pieces of crap. Sadly...… Expand
