Very disappointing for old fans!

"For a band who started out as an innovative synth rock duo in the '70s this is truly a very poor album. It sounds like Depeche Mode's "A broken frame" or Pet Shop Boys' "Please" robbed of all good melodies. Even Alan Vega's unpredictable and manic vocals, which added so much energy and drive to their earlier albums, have gone into boring talk-singing. The best songs are the title tracks and "Flashy love", the rest is not memorable. "Why be blue" was released in 1992, but that's simply unbelievable, because the music sounds like being made in the early-'80s. Why did they release such a bland and uninspired album? I suppose they've run out of money. If you wanted to know what Suicide really is about, buy their self-titled debut album!"
