The 1985 Listening Post - Robin Gibb - Walls Have Eyes

Robin Gibb - Walls Have Eyes


#490/1123
November 1985
Robin Gibb
Walls Have Eyes
Genre: New Wave
3.5 out of 5


From the from the first song two things are apparent: 1. Robin is going to do his damnedest to put space between him and his brothers’ disco success (of which he was a great part. And 2. he wants to be part of that, now decade old, New Wave synth pop craze. But, of course, except for Miami Vice soundtracking, this sound is rapidly becoming Passe. 
There’s nothing wrong here, in fact, if it came out 5 years before and didn’t have the name “Gibb” on it, I bet I would’ve eaten this up.
