3 stars See, BELVA still listens to commercial stuff. Because this is commercial stuff, and well crafted. The title track, for example, isn't really a breakthrough piece in popular music, but it's still very enjoyable and catchy. Model man and Man with an open heart have that 80s touch that gets me, probably for the kitschy atmosphere. The other stuff... well... I'll save industry (perfect for one of those eightie's police show chases) and , of course, LTIA part III: great, but not to compare with LTIA I and II, this is the clean-synth-and-funk version of the famous crimson suite. I think it's a little bit ironic , trying to combine the raw power of LTIA with 80s plastic production.But Fripp's guitar sounds as great as ever when it blasts the ending. So, be aware that all the other tracks aren't that great, easy to forget..... AND SLEPLESS SUCKS GREAT ASSSES.... the worst song with the KC logo put over.Period. They even made a video of it for MTV (yeah, Frippy boy, ashamed to be photographed on tour, not so much scared to be filmed with a Duran Duran-like grim on his face), and the DANCE VERSION (oh, oh my ...) If you have any 80s vintage inclination, you might enjoy greatly this album. If not, switch to "Discipline".
