Customer Reviews for It S My Life
Not all happy synth tunes
Rating:
This 2nd Talk Talk CD has a reputation of being shimmery 80s synth-pop, but while the genius single It's My Life, certainly could be described this way, the majority of the album is slow, moody tracks that aren't anyone's idea of party music. Even singles like Such A Shame and Dum Dum Girl are a bit on the dreary side.
Good songs, but it lacks cohesion and doesn't work as a complete listening experience. The tracks just don't gel with each other.
Customer Reviews for It S My Life Cd
4.5 stars really!
Rating:
Talk Talk are one of those strange anomalies in the recording industry; their music and progressive albums just got better and more in tune with who they really were as musicians. While Talk Talk's debut album "Party's Over" was very much the plastic form of so many of the New Romantic bands of the early 80's, there were slight hints of something else. "It's My Life" has many of the same sensibilites of that plastic 80's sound, but you can completely hear elements of their next album "The Colour of Spring". This became the trend for Talk Talk; to show future glimpses of where they were really heading in each album. I'm not sure I could name all that many bands that did this. Although this album only gets 4.5 stars (and not many bands can even lay claim to that) it's their next three albums "The Colour of Spring", "Spirit of Eden", and "Laughing Stock" that not only get 5 stars each, they are also some of the most absolutely unique music you'll ever hear. It's a real listening experience to start at the beginning (with "Party's Over") and work your way through all 5 albums. Wonderful stuff.
