The 1980 Listening Post - The Sports - Suddenly

 The Sports - Suddenly



March 3 1980

The Sports

Suddenly

Genre: New Wave

2.75 out of 5



Highlights:

Oh Mama No




What is in the water down there, anyway? 

Rev up Split Enz, shove them in a Cheap Trick blender but swirl around a helping of Sparks and The Sports is what you get. 


But, Allen, is it good? 


If you love your New Wave with more than occasional Ska Back Beat or Reggae…then yes. I wish they had a home run on this thing but, alas, they do not. When it turns into generic Power Pop it actually gets kind of ugly.
