I listened to Simple Minds' second album five times, so I formed an opinion on it. I kept 4 out of 12 songs: "Carnival (Shelter In A Suitcase)", "Cacophony", "Veldt", "Film Theme". The last three are instrumentals. I dunno, I may remove one or two of them. "Carnival" reminds me a little of the World/Inferno Friendship Society's "The Cat in the Hat Has a Right to Sing the Blues" although Simple Minds' song came first by 31 years.
The album's Wikipedia page says that the band only had four songs going into the studio. My, how it shows. A definite sophomore slump after the excellent Life in a Day.
