 Timeless CD! Oct 14, 2009
So sad that so much more was not delivered by this most outstanding group. It is just incredible from beginning to end. Refusing to never become yet another CD on the shelf gathering dust...play constantly. Carmen, Just One Day In The Life of a Fool, all of it!...it is all just so darned good. Their obscure presence is unbelievable...not unlike others that serve up a totally great piece of work from beginning to end. Book of Love...October Project come to mind. A rare very emotional must have certainly.

 NOT a FIVE STAR album!!! Mar 18, 2008
Ok, this album is o.k., but it's not particularly special. And these reviews???? W T F???? They were so persuasive. This synthpop is mostly mediocre. There are some highlights, but overall there is no way this album deserves 5 stars. The comparisons to Depeche Mode and Erasure are only accurate in the sense that the styles are similar, but definitely not the quality. It's just kind of boring overall, and the vocals, despite the rest of the reviews, are NOT that great. 'Living in Oblivion' is the best and most obvious track.
If you're looking for 5 star synthpop, get the best of Kim Wilde, best of The Human League, Men Without Hats, Ultravox, New Order, Soft Cell, or the best of OMD. Those might seem obvious, so if you're looking for a diamond in the rough, look up some modern synthpop bands like De/Vision, And One, Echo Image, Thermostatic, Iris, Seabound, or Wolfshiem. Those are all 5 star kinds of bands.
I'm not saying it's terrible, it just doesn't deserve 5 stars!
After I read these reviews I thought man this was going to be a diamond in the rough! But it's more like some -slightly softer roughness- in the rough.
*** out of 5. I was tempted to give it 1 star just to even it out better but I thought I'd be more fair.

Blast from the past.... Aug 18, 2006
Born in the 70's but grew up in the 80's, it was around 1984 that I started to care about music and the late 80's and early 90's that I started to collect it and use it to rebel against the parents like every other teenager. We had a local radio station that decided to try a new format "alternative" music. That format lasted a whopping 1 year and struggled the whole time, but I heard some great new music by artists that I never would have heard from on the more popular music stations. One of those bands were Anything Box. Listening to the music now, it sounds kind of packaged and repetitive, but still has a good feel to it. They were a little shallow at the time that this album came out hence the lack of depth to the music and the sounds are very tinney. But still a good listen after all of these years just to pull it out of the collection and pop it into the cd player for a little nostalgia.

Simply brilliant !! Jul 03, 2004
This record is very good indeed. If you like groups like Depeche Mode, Erasure a.o. you can't go wrong on this record. I was rather surprised that an american band could make such great
synth-music, but Anything Box proved me wrong. BUY IT NOW !!

Still one of the best synthpop band! Dec 24, 2003
My friend introduced this band to me over 13 years ago, and I am still listening to it. This is definitely one of my favorite albums of all time.
