5 stars My favourite album by this band. This is definately their most atmospheric and for this particular band, that's interesting. The first 5 songs are great. "Do The Strand" is a great dark rocker, and so is "Editions Of You", while "Beauty Queen" is nothing but a love song, which is one of the best song here thanks to Ferry's vocals. "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" is slow and with a very dark atmosphere. "The Bogus Man" is nice but too long, while "Strictly Confidential" is a quiet but pretty song that is not great but suits the album well, and "Grey Lagoons" is pretty interesting song thanks to its good melody, gospel-styled vocals and good guitar and good instrumentation. It finishes off with the slow, atmospheric, relaxing title track with all those nice effects and good drumfills. A classic album. Eno left after this one and they will soon lose their "weirdness".
