The Fine Young Cannibals did not exactly come out of nowhere, but in 1989 they went from a name in the business to a headlining one, selling multi-platinum amounts of their second album and scoring two #1 U.S. chart hits. It was one of the very few albums of that year which was both critically and commercially rewarded, and apparently, the critical reputation has grown over the years. Practically the entire album graced a radio playlist somewhere at some time, not just "She Drives Me Crazy" and "Good Thing". At best, it's a clever, quirky blend of soul, rock, and synth pop, accentuated by Roland Gift's vocals, but there are times where Gift is not exactly God's gift in that department, either. "Good Thing", for example, usually strikes as a brute-force copy of the real thing. But the differing styles heard throughout makes things interesting. Overall, just a steady, decent, well-executed record worth your time.
