October 21 1985
Simple Minds
Once Upon a Time
Genre: Rock
4.25 out of 5
Highlights:
Ghostdancing
Alive and Kicking
Sanctify Yourself
All that experimental stuff of the early days seems to have gone by the wayside as the guys really embrace the radio friendliness of “Don’t You Forget About Me”.
You know what?
Works for me.
I dig this.
Make no mistake, though, it’s in that INXS/U2 wheelhouse of anthemic stadium rock that really began to take hold in this Live Aid/Band Aid era. If you told me that “Sanctify Yourself” was INXS I would have no trouble believing you.
