The sound of the 80s!

The sounds of the 80s are never best represented than in this CD! Spandau Ballet's most recent greatest hits CD is a treat for those who want to listen to it, and remind you all of the tunes that came out of the 80s!
The best track on this album is "True", the fantastic song that will surely become the romantic soundtrack to anyone's life! Other highlights include the funk-driven "Chant No. 1", the epic "Gold", the catchy "Only When I Leave", the great debut single "To Cut A Long Story Short", and of course, "Through the Barricades".
What sadly prevents this album from getting five stars is, when comparing them to other acts, they are merely a footnote in musical history, and many of today's youth will not know about Spandau Ballet, even if they have heard one of their songs. Also, some of the songs are slightly forgettable, but when they hit, they REALLY hit, thanks in no small part to Tony Hadley's deep vocals and Steve Norman's excellent jazz solos that accurately sum up the GOOD 80s music of the devade!
Definately reccomended if you are a fan of New Romantic music and 80s pop! 4/5
