    One of the greatest bands of all time -- attempting to follow up one of the greatest records of all time in Clinging to a Scheme. Did they succeed? Not exactly. It's a disappointment comparatively, and even as a standalone record. But it's not bad by any means.

    While Running Out of Love may contain a bit less fizz than its predecessor, it's supplanted by evidence of the band's artistic growth over the past six years.

    The same basic sound is here, but a bit dancier and more electronic groove. Not nearly as much of the straight pop or shoegazey stuff.

    Easily the most vibrant they've ever sounded. [No. 137, p.59]
