    "Heaven" is a decent stab at '80s synth pop; "Looking Hot" and "Push And Shove" mix bubblegum R&B with ragga-inspired middle eights; the rest is rather forgettable. [Dec 2012, p.75]

Apart from that, old fans will enjoy it and it should pick up a few new fans along the way.… Full Review »

    "To go forward sometimes you have to go back" seems to always have been the band's motto. For all those too uptight to join in the party"To go forward sometimes you have to go back" seems to always have been the band's motto. For all those too uptight to join in the party there are countless emo bands out there for you to get your lyric fix from. But for the rest of us we gonna party like it's 1984. The band's most perfected album and it's purely pop.… Full Review »
