5 out of 5 stars Eagerly anticipated and long awaited album   October 17, 2009
Markymos (Edinburgh, UK)
16 out of 16 found this review helpful

Ideally, new material would have been preferred from this eagerly anticipated and long awaited album, not another Greatest Hits twist. Nevertheless, the re-workings are predictably top class, Tony's magnificent voice just blows you away and the two new songs `Once More' (Gary Barlow like) and `Love Is All' (a little gem that just grows on you) are very welcome additions. Gary, please put some more pen to paper ... fingers crossed ... for next time. br / br /When drawing comparisons between the old and new, except for the stand-out re-makes of `To Cut A Long Story Short' (fantastic operatic ending), `She Loved Like Diamond' (so smooth) and 'Only When You Leave' the new versions are not necessarily better. That would be a tall order, which is especially evident with regards to `True' and 'Through The Barricades'. Instead, Tony sings the songs from a very different (at times more elaborate) perspective. The orchestral contribution is always subtle yet hard to overlook and definitely adds something positive. br / br /Regarding song selection, this was a missed opportunity to have included either of Spandau's best, yet lesser known songs - `Swept' (1986) and `A Handful of Dust' (1989) at the expense of `Communication' which unlike the similar genre 'Lifeline' (now more chilled out) is a little out of place on this more mature offering. Incredibly, neither made it as singles, yet both had Top 10 potential and would have been a much better fit. After all, the classy ballad `With the Pride' (1984) is included, yet was not a single. br / br /In essence, a quality offering and `must buy' for any fan, but may well leave an un-sated appetite for the more demanding.

Received this this morning...2 days before official release...and it's BRILLIANT! Great reworkings of classic songs, aided incredibly by Tony Hadley's more mature voice. The new version of To Cut A Long Story Short should be released as a single...orchestral genius! br / br /The Spands are back...and with a vengeance! br / br /Long may they reign!


5 out of 5 stars Wow! Refreshing and Modern, True Spandau Classics - Fantastic!   October 19, 2009

Being used to the originals for so long I wasn't sure how I was going to enjoy this new album. After listening, I can honestly say that it's taken the classical Spandau sound to another level, no disappointment at all. Yeah people can say it's different - that's because it IS different, it's more modern, enhanced, updated but it sounds more 'relaxed' Spandau, if that's the right word. Like a fine wine maturing with age this is an exceptional bottle. Steve Norman is now a Master of Sax, Gary, Martin John still have it all and Tony - his voice never falters. The new songs on the album just show how good this band still are, love them all!

Tony's totty
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Spandau Ballet were my favourite eighties band and I have followed Tony Hadley since he went solo and was delighted when they announced the reunion. Once More as a single is a real grower and I am loving the updated sound of classic Spandau songs. Personal favourites are To Cut A Long Story Short and With the Pride, the latter showing Tony's brilliant voice of to perfection. Agree with some other comments that they could have included alternative songs to Communication and Chant No1, How Many Lies would have been a good addition. Overall I think giving these old songs a contempary twist has worked well but it may split die hard Spandau fans who dislike change to the original.
