The 1985 Listening Post - The Icicle Works - The Small Price of a Bicycle

The Icicle Works - The Small Price of a Bicycle


#329/964
September 1 1985
The Icicle Works
The Small Price of a Bicycle
3.5 out of 5


Highlights:
Book of Reason

More of the same lush, catchy new romantic synth pop that I heard the first time only that album was sort of a revelation and this one left me wanting. Whatever lasting magic that made “Whisper to a Scream” so indelible and unforgettable isn’t here. Oh, the talent is. And the songwriting isn’t bad. It just feels as though i’ve been here before.
