SynthPop Garbage. 
The trouble is, when I hear him sing “I let the drums do the talking” I wish that was true for the whole record. Btw, I’m positive Adam Ant’s management wanted him to eventually go in this direction. He wasn’t capable, as the unreleased album, Persuasion, would prove but this is where they wanted a lot of these guy to go. This is stupid 80s era Sparks wannabe music. It’s aimed squarely at the teenage mall market. Imagine trying to sell yourself to that crowd and taking your music cues from Ron Mael.
