March 1986
A Flock of Seagulls
Dream Come True
Genre: SynthPop
1.75 out of 5
Why are they playing violins on the cover? Do they think we will all forget that they are the quintessential representation of 80s synthetic music?
The world is changing and the Seagulls aren’t able to keep up. Is this dance? Is it New Wave?
This is insipid and trite and I really want Mike Score to go away.
If you get to the end you’ll hear what’s wrong with these guys. The last song “Whole Lot of Loving” sees them mining the same territory that has already been covered and left in the dust by Wham!. It’s second rate Wham. That’s never good.
