This was the first BBB album I've listened to, back in 1990 and it still ranks as one of their best for me. There's a slight Euro-House influence creeping in (a sign of the times I guess), but most of the time there's still that classic Hi-NRG sound to most of the songs. Songs like "Jungle in My Heart", "Jenny Come Home" and "Chains of Love" could be considered Hi-NRG classics. There's a Silent Circle cover ("I am Your Believer") that's even more intense than the original (it goes completely over the top with the church organ). It's also the high moment for John McInerney's vocal display, because just as with the previous album "The Fifth", all songs here are sung by John. ---spacewalker, rateyourmusic.com
This I believe was the 6th LP from the boys, released in 1990. All the songs were written by the good old Tony Hendrick and Karin Van Haaren.
The album consists of 9 very melodic, light synthesizer-driven disco/pop songs. Lyrically the songs are simplistic, though they're also rather romantic and tender-hearted.
I think this is a great album to have if you like 80's Eurodisco/Pop, or if you like light synhtesizer music of artists like Pet Shop Boys, A-Ha. Lyrically and vocally i think BBB are inferior, but melodcially speaking I think they're better. The songs on here are extremely catchy and melodic, and one can easily dance to them.
basically this is a Great commercial 80 dance/pop. I like all songs on here so hard to single out any in particular.... Jenny Come Home, I Need a Woman, Chains of Love, I Don't Know her Name, and Jungle in my heart are all Terrific songs. ---andy, amazon.com
