    This time with their best songs since "Tell Me When" in 1995. In more ways than one, timeless.

    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?
  3. What matters is that the I Monster team have cooked up a production that matches our expectations of a League LP.

It's just pieces of crap. Sadly... Full Review »

    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 newReally 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! Full Review »

    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.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.
