A Flock of Seagulls
The Story of a Young Heart
2.5 out of 5
Highlights:
Remember David
The good news is that the songs are boring AND they seem to go forever. Hooray!
Has there ever been a band that has so vastly overstayed their welcome at the party? Mike Score and his buddies should’ve ghosted the music scene a long time before this. YOU CAN’T KEEP SINGING “THIS IS THE STORY OF A YOUNG HEART” OVER AND OVER IF YOU NEVER TELL ANY STORY!!!!
“Remember David” is the closest we get to the “I Ran” version of Seagulls, it’s welcome but it’s the Side Two opener followed by the drivingly retro New Wave “Over My Head”. so it takes forever to get there. The album could’ve used a LOT more of that.
A Flock of Seagulls had their time but they aren’t adding anything to their story.
