Stands the test of time...,
This review is from: Hysteria (Audio CD)
Still a great album, with The Lebanon as THE stand out track; never get tired of listening to it, especially the end where the main riff keeps repeating. Timeless

Unispired,
This review is from: Hysteria (Audio CD)
After the brilliant and innovative DARE everyone had very high hopes of the Human Leagues fourth album Hysteria, particularly following the worldwide success of Dare. Hysteria was released, three years later in 1984. There were three singles from the album that made the top-twenty of the UK singles chart and only one, The Lebanon charted in the US. This in my opinion was the best song on the album.

Their best album,
This review is from: Hysteria (Audio CD)
Let's get serious for a moment. Hysteria is the Human League's best album. Following on after a huge selling album is, to some ears, impossible and I suspect the knives were poised before it was released. 'Dare' was an outstanding album, with at least four great pop songs - but 'Hysteria' is more consistent over all ten tracks. The introduction of guitar and bass guitar gives the sound more breadth and gravitas. Indeed, the bass-lines on this album are some of the most impressive ever committed to recorded music, particularly 'I Love You Too Much' and 'The Lebanon'...well, all of them really. If your ears are attuned to low frequencies you'll love this - 'Dare' sounds a bit plastic and tinny in comparison. The whole effort is very tight and, while it doesn't offer as great a song as 'Don't You Want Me', you never feel like reaching for the skip button. I can only think that it appeared to be a disappointment upon first release because of the three year gap from 'Dare'. Of course nowadays three years is de rigeuer, even after top selling debut albums.
