This is the China Crisis album for any fans of Steely Dan. Produced by Walter Becker, who liked them enough to mention it to someone in charge, this album even features lead singer Garry Daly altering his phrasing to resemble Donald Fagen! The players are all sharp enough to reach Dan levels of performance without Becker throwing in any ringers, but as a fan of previous albums, I found this one less than compelling.

China Crisis underwent a complete change in sound for their third album, completely ditching the heavy dub rhythms and challenging arrangements of 1982's Difficult Shapes & Passive Rhythms, Some People Think It's Fun to Entertain and 1983's Working with Fire and Steel (Possible Pop Songs, Vol. 2) with an altogether smoother and less aggressive sound.
