Man…remember when we were all into Bourgeois Tagg and we would greet each other with knowing sinks and refer to ourselves as “Taggies”? Not “Taggers” cuz fuck that noise. We didn’t care that it wasn’t a forward moving descriptor, it made us feel good when we all dance walked in jagged steps as we tried to emulate what it would like to look like 2 dimensional Picasso paintings.
Oh, youth. 

Who the fuck is Bourgeois Tagg????
This record is what you get when you give competent musicians studio time but ONLY if they are allowed to perfectly recreate the cliche of what everyone thinks 80s music is supposed to sound like. 
Take every band you liked in the 70s and remember what they sounded like when they tried to sound current in the mid-80s and that’s this record.
