THE BIG LAD IN THE WINDMILL

It Bites is a band from UK formed in early '80's. First album came in 1986 and named The big lad in the windmill. At first listen I was thinking I'm listnening to some pop album typical for mid '80's but after some spins, this it changes in better for me. Not because I have something against pop albums, some of them are pretty good, this is the case with this first album of It Bites. Polished pop with good keyboards, rather like art pop, with fine arrangements, nothing spectacular but enjoyble. The best piece is I Got You Eating Out Of my Hand, the rest are ok, typical '80's sound but not bad at all. 2.5 rounded to 3, because of the cover art who is great. Nothing over the top, but pleasent, quite simple in conception but good. Their next one is even better.
