The 1986 Listening Post - Bronski Beat - Truthdare Doubledare

Bronski Beat - Truthdare Doubledare



#170/1335
May 1 1986
Bronski Beat
Truthdare Doubledare
Genre: Electronica
3.5 out of 5




Highlights:
Hit That Perfect Beat
Truthdare Doubledare



That opener…that’s Prodigy’s inception, yes? After that, the boys are all over the map, from the 40s of the title track to steel drum New Wave and synthballadry.

This is such an improvement over the first record and I don’t know what happened. The first half is a blast but, once we get to the end of Side One the old BB tendencies toward self-importance over abject fun come roaring back.
