Agreed but as much as I enjoy synthesizer this album went overboard. For instance the intro to HOW MUCH LOVE! Way too soft. Like I said male fans were driven away.

No disagreement there and why they chose to bury the guitar parts for about half the album is a mystery. The live version was a much improved "mix".

I remember clearly my friend's girlfriend back in '86 pleaded with me to let her borrow my WSC CD. I gave it to her for keeps. :P
