Reviews Customer Reviews for The Colour Of Spring      bridging the gap      Rating:      This is album is a landmark in the history of Talk Talk. It really does bridge the gap between their earlier electro-pop (It's My Life) and their later albums (Spirit of Eden & Laughing Stock). This album begins their metamorphosis, much like Achtung Baby was a necessary album for U2 to make to jump from Joshua Tree to Zooropa. Overall, this is a pop album that takes chances. It's very organic and uses acoustic brushmarks to highlight it's texture. I certainly see where bands like The Catherine Wheel were influenced. There are many layers of skin to peel back on this onion as with each listen there are new sounds and rhythms to focus on yet on the surface it's still a collection of very accessible songs. Personally, the only song I can't really get into is "Chameleon Day" which is the reason I give this album a 4 star vs a 5 star. To me this is easily their best album. If you're looking for another "It's My Life", it's not here, go buy a Tears for Fears album, but if you are looking for an audio adventure, purchase this album.     Customer Reviews for The Colour Of Spring Cd      The best Talk Talk album      Rating:      This was the peak of the bands creativity. The music and lyrics create a perfect unit. The lyrics are often hard to understand and cryptic but they are so much a part of the music itself that you end up not minding much. When you finally figure the meaning of the words out, there is no surprise, because somehow you get the message even if you understand only 20% of the words. That, in my definition, is how a perfect song should be. The album somewhat foreshadows the even more melancholy and experimental direction that the group took after "The Colour of Spring". Unfortunately that led them too far from the mainstream, and eventually, music altogether. But this album is the peak effort of one of the most talented bands of the 80's.
