 All You Need Apr 03, 2009
Guitar driven power-pop from the eighties. This was a mega-whopper of an album commercially, and pretty much everything The Outfield had to offer is on this disc (excepting the nifty Voices of Babylon from the later album of the same name). Musically and lyrically The Outfield were fairly stock, and Play Deep isn't really very "deep" at all, but they make this work to their advantage by nailing every cue on the pop scale with near perfection.
My only beef is the often mechanical/rigid sound of the drums.
 One of the 80s best and under appreciated Nov 04, 2008
They were often compared to the Police which I think somehow gave them a second tier status, but this is a great band and album in their own right. Great harmonies and well written catchy tunes with memorable guitar riffs throughout. This is one of those rare albums that is enjoyable from beginning to end and stands the test of time. I wish they would come out with a remastered CD to do the music justice.

Still Playing Aug 19, 2008
It was the summer of 1985 when I was first introduced to this band and this album. It was one of the hottest albums of that year and I was hooked. I purchased the cassette and proceeded to wear it out. Years later, I still enjoy this album. Yes, the lyrics might not be the greatest and the music is dated (as is the album art. Can anyone say 80's and Miami Vice?). I don't know. Maybe it's the memories that this album stirs...

Unheralded and little remembered 80's Pop gem Aug 07, 2008
This album is little gem from the 80's that doesn't get much play when people discuss classic pop of the era. However this little 3 man band turned out some of the most tuneful rock and pop of their era. I won't pretend I'm crafting a Rolling Stone review and break down the album track by track. I'll just say that if you were a teenager in the 80's and this album doesn't bring a smile to your face...well...you probably didn't like this kind of music then either. The follow up album, 'Bangin', is also good...FYI.
One of All-time Favorites Apr 30, 2008
The Outfield's 1985 hit album lured me into the western pop music world much deeper. I bought the cassette version in 1985 because I loved their hit singles YOUR LOVE which went to #5 on the Billboard Top 100 and the follow up ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD which became top 20 hit.
The songs of the album are as great as the featured singles and particularly I love 61 SECONDS which should have been another hit. Most of the songs are upbeat, catchy and well-hooked. I regret I haven't had their following albums because now it is really hard to find them here in Japan.
If your most favorite music era is mid 80s particularly around 82-87. You must get this album. It is no doubt the most readily available album by the band.
Verdict: Represents upbeat 80s
Rating: 93 out of 100
Recommended for: Wide range of 80s pop rock fans
