Product Description
CD Description
This was Browne's New Wave album, which means you can expect (and get) a lot of tick-tock eighth note rhythms, catchy guitar riffs, and lyrics that are less personal and introverted than usual. There's also more pop, in the Brill Building sense.
The standout is the title tune, hands down the funniest song Browne ever wrote--admittedly, a short list. It'sa gleeful skewering of Reagan era Cold War paranoia and yuppie greed, with a killer chorus hook and a neat falsetto break that may or may not be a homage to the Four Seasons. Alsonoteworthy are the hits "On the Day", "Tender is the Night", and "Downtown", a celebration of winos, bible thumpers andassorted other habitues of the urban jungle that includes awitty quote from Petula Clarke's '60s classic of the same name.
