This has a bevy of great sounds and hooks, but it's inundated with terrible 80s overproduction and compression. It was always going to be a tall task to follow the magnum opus that is New Gold Dream, but it's certainly odd the direction they decided to take here after the incredible highs of the preceding record.

Every time I listen to Sparkle In the Rain it floors me. Such a huge wave-crashing sound. It's too bad most Americans are only familiar with Simple Minds through their hit "Don't You Forget About Me".

Such an incredible album! I listened to it when my 11th grade music class went to Chicago, and ever since then, "Sparkle in the Rain" has been my big-city-album.
