Product Description

Description
Nothing short of a C&W album recorded in the heart of Nashville would seem as far removed from the Human League's earlyexperimental art-noise roots as 1986's CRASH. Following thecommercial and critical disappointment of 1984's underratedHYSTERIA, singers Phil Oakey, Joanne Catherall and Susanne Sulley parted with the instrumental axis of the Human League's hitmaking heyday and traveled to Minneapolis to record with ex-Prince protTgTs Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam, then at thetop of the charts as the masterminds of Janet Jackson's CONTROL.
Jam and Lewis wrote and performed the songs on CRASH, with only occasional lyrical help from Oakey, and the results are fine mid-'80s pop-funk, even if they have almost nothing to do with the Human League's earlier records. The group was rewarded with the big American chart hit "Human", butfrom here on, every new Human League album was treated as acomeback attempt.

4.0 out of 5 stars Human League VS USA, 1 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Human League had a strugle making this record. They almost made the record twice, and had a hard time writing material. They went to the US and teamed up with Jam and Lewis (Produced Janet Jackson as well). From this record comes their second nr 1 hit in the US - Human. This record includes some great tunes. It is well produced and deserves a place in anyones collections. Money well spent.

4.0 out of 5 stars A different League sound, 9 Sep 2002
I've had this album on vinyl since it's release in 1986 and I can wholeheartedly recommend this as a pleasant listening experience. Some of the tracks have a different style to what you might be expecting from the Human league but then again the League started out as an all-male hardcore electronic band before they recruited the girls and developed a more poppy style. At least four of the tracks are classic League tinglers, never ceasing to cause my hairs to stand on end.

4.0 out of 5 stars a grower, 6 Dec 2007
i bought this on vinyl back in 86,i was a human league fan but also a fan of Jam & Lewis who were the biggest producers in the US at the time.It is very well produced and there are 3 or 4 big tracks on here,after Dare this is my most played League album,it grows on you and sounds very fresh,if a little american,even today.

It's a wonder that The Human League managed to survive after this one. They were definitely in artistic crisis at the time. Even the artwork is disasterous. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Career Crash
A terrible album. Having failed to write a convincing set of songs themselves, The Human League decamped to the US to be produced by Jam and Lewis of Janet Jackson fame. Read more
